      Good Company- Pay could use overhaul

      Field engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits, great people to work with. State of the art instruments that provide so much for patients.

      Cons

      Pay raises below standard, with inflation this year and record profits Roche made, raises across nation are very low and was really discouraging to field workers who have been holding this company up while most haven't left their house in two years. Field workers have had to work insane hours and install a ton of instruments so the pay raises to appreciate this would have been nice, given the billions made. We are short staffed greatly already so worried this is going to cause even more Field Engineers to leave now.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits, some work life flexibility, nice buildings

      Cons

      When leadership is good, it is good. When it isn't good, it sucks. Unfortunately, when good leaders are put in roles they are moved around quickly. Advancement is nil unless you are in the boys club. Even the few women who get promoted are promoted as pawns for the men. Politics are horrible and collaboration between teams is hard. We are all supposed to be on the same side but leadership and people who are allowed to be idiots ("oh it is just so and so's way....") make work harder. And if you are very good at your job as a worker bee, it is highly unlikely you are going to be promoted. They want you to continue in that capacity. They under use talent.

      More politics, less science, less communications

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Big company with good benefits, has good long term strategy. Ability to buy new companies that adds to scientific strategy.

      Cons

      Tries to look like a fair and good company, but actions taken are usually for the business profits made by company, with less concern for employees. Politics and personal gains dictates most decisions at a manager - employee level, decreasing motivation from employee’s side.
