Pros

Deep commitment to science and patients which serves as the lifeblood of the company's mission and values. Great people to work with in a team based environment.

Cons

Complex environment- new hires can find it hard to navigate and understand the many different departments as part of an affiliate of Roche. Communication not always transparent.

Thank you very much for taking the time to send us your thoughts. We are very proud of our commitment to the science, the people that work here and the patients we work for. We want all employees to be equipped to do their best work! We regularly receive feedback regarding the complexity of the organization, especially since the Roche merger and would love to hear any further feedback you might have to help us improve.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
