      Research struggles to provide work life balance

      Pros

      Genentech has great benefits, significant resources to solve scientific problems, some very bright people. They are tackling some very exciting scientific issues: from new armed antibody technologies, to understanding cell cycle, to their cancer genome project, to the multipronged anti-angiogensis approach, there are some great senior scientists.

      Cons

      Middle management doesn't respect the rank and file in research. Research management shows a lack of respect for work-life-balance. Few opportunities for merit-based promotion for entry level, even senior RAs. They tend to hire outside instead of promote.

      If you're in biotechnology there is no better place to work.

      Pros

      The benefits are awesome! There is nowhere else that compares in biotech. They also pay the best.

      Cons

      In large departments, individual employees do not advance in rank and salary as quickly as smaller departments. It is also hard to get a job (or an interview) here unless you meet and exceed the job description. It is important to have experience before applying.
