Pros

The overall company compensation and benefits are great. The employees are always willing to help each other. The mission of helping those afflicted by cancer is a noble mission.

Cons

-The mission of Roche in Tucson has unfortunately shifted from helping patients to generating increased profit and revenue. -Due to the senior leadership in Tucson taking short cuts in the past, the environment now is one of constantly reacting to problems which should have been solved years ago. -Some portions of senior leadership in Tucson are creating an environment of fear and finger pointing. -There is a drive by senior leadership in Tucson to outsource the instrument development and focus on Assay integration and Assay development only.

Pros

Work processes are well-organized. Premises are very clean. Facilities are nicely managed. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Cons

Low efficiency, low accountability, low bars in competency and quality of work. Too many managers per one engineer. Open floor work place is counterproductive for software engineering.

Pros

Good benefits. Work / life balance.

Cons

Uses fear-mongering as management tactic. Lack of communication and no accountability at every level of leadership. Uses 'skills enrichment opportunities' as a way to not have to promote or pay you for your extra work. Is known for laying off high earners after decades of company loyalty to keep bottom line down.
