Pros

They have instituted the Roche European culture, in that the rules and training emphasize good teams, good behaviour, inclusiveness. Good remuneration. Apolitical.

Cons

Management comes out of Europe, so expect to reach a limit on your role if you can’t move easily. The old guard runs the location, so you have to be careful to stay on the right side of everyone. Expect to be delivered reorganizational news with little to no notification, and although I mentioned adopting European values, this does NOT apply to your US employment which remains at-will, so those European and global decisions will be applied without a second thought. Don’t expect your loyalty or at least commitment to count for anything but dollars.

Pros

Being a European company, the culture is decent, with immediate managers being nice

Cons

Mid-level management has let the waves steer the ship, with no sense of direction, or taking the blame for the state of things

Pros

Excellent company with real good benefits and a positive work/life balance

Cons

Some teams are kind of lost in the strategy. Leadership in digital is a complete joke.
