Pros

- Good work/life balance - It's impossible to get fired if you're a full-time employee - Great scientists

Cons

- TERRIBLE management, especially in business leaders - While there are smart people in the software org in Belmont, everywhere else has pretty terrible talent in terms of tech - Terrible innovation, lots of no, everyone is afraid to change anything - Outdated technology and systems - Cheap with employees - Not very smart people in business, which is why diagnostics is treated 2nd class to pharma - Recruiting outside Belmont is awful - SO much bureaucracy it's absolutely frustrating - Tons of promotions, no development; they happily keep low performing employees - If you disagree with the status quo you're outcasted, berated, told you aren't "One Roche" just because you have a different opinion - Terrible, I mean terrible, culture - HR is absolutely clueless in terms of people development, career growth... especially HR leadership
