Truth About Roche Company

Pros

There’s no pros at Roche in Pleasanton Santa Clara and San Francisco CA offices (Maybe San Jose to) The Bay Area in General

Cons

This company is so racist! Pleasanton Santa Clara and San Francisco locations are filled with most Caucasian or Indian people. Even the people in HR are idiots and they don’t hiring many people of color. Once you work for this company you see the favorite within the business group teams. Even the hiring is ridiculous, I’ve been denied multiple times for positions I clearly qualify for and ones that I over qualified for and all they did was deny me. If you’re in the Bay Area and you want to work for Roche you have to be white or Indian or lucky. They have entry level positions on the Eastcoast USA but none on The Westcoast and if they are they’re from grad students. They really need to remodel the whole Bay Area when it comes to staff and employees. I use to really look up to this company and what they stood for until I found out all of this , Now I hate this company and wouldn’t recommend working for a racist organization.

Pros

The larger companies ideals are sound.

Cons

Employees are treated like pawns with no regard to their careers. They are moved about and titles changed during reorganizations without consulting the employee. At one point a manager told me, "Careers are dead. There is no such thing as a career anymore." As stated in the Pros the larger companies ideals are sound but the implementation and accountability is lacking. There is too much concentration power in management. There is top down planning with very little input from those doing the actual work which means long hours.
