Roche reviews

Sr. Management is very sleazy and nonstop pathological lying is the culture. They will push subpar/incomplete products out the door only to collect bonus $$ - then spend $$ millions having to redo or correct critical design errors ultimately taking years to correct. Work/Life balance is nonexistent and travel requirements are significantly higher than competitive /peer companies. Leadership style is "fear" based -- "Lie to customers or be fired" is the SOP RMD should be considered an embarrassment to Roche Holdings in terms of integrity.

Processes are overblown and operational innovation is discouraged in favor of maintaining the cumbersome status quo. If you're not a "lifer" then you "obviously don't understand how business is done here". Complex bureaucracies dominate the management landscape, more so than other companies of similar size. Corporate leaders will hand down edicts with little consideration of the impact on people and processes that are affected, as long as senior managers are satisfied. Many middle managers are zealots who spout out vision statements without living up to those values.
