Pros

Fantastic benefits, great opportunities for advancement, leadership truly encourages a healthy work-life balance, majority of employees are genuine and believe in the work they do. Hard work and innovation is rewarded.

Cons

Even tho I was terminated, I still don't really have anything negative to say about the company. Some areas have the "mob mentality" so if you're the newest member and someone doesn't like you, it could be rough if leadership puts their trust in the wrong people. Peer to peer feedback is encouraged and accepted, but unfortunately there are still people who prefer drama over professionalism. Every company has a few cons, but at Roche the pros far out way the cons for anyone who can rise above the few bad apples, can accept as well as give constructive feedback , and that depict the Roche Cultural Beliefs in everything they do.

Pros

No pros here to be found just honesty

Cons

The company has a very clickish way of working. If you’re not in, you get shown the door. The company also lets people go while they are out on disability after 17 year of service with no insurance or benefits. Management doesn’t care about their employees.

Great company, but a toxic environment

Pros

Stable environment. Unlimited sick days.

Cons

Gossip, gossip gossip....Including managers, everybody talks behind another. It's a shame truly, because Roche company itself has been doing great work in patients' lives. Bad management, instead of teaching the material, they give you bunch of sighs and eye rolls. Sadly, the people are not professionals/ take their jobs seriously. It's a good company if it's your first time job. However, career growth isn't supported. I felt discriminated and excluded throughout my employment.
