      I have been working at Roche full-time

      Pros

      Substantial resources Good reputation among physicians Opportunities for development Adept at identifying takeover targets

      Cons

      Extremely political work environment. Truth is a negotiable concept. Upper management are very disconnected from the realities of the business. R&D has had very limited success in Europe (luckily Genentech & Chugai are effective).

      Advice to Management

      Tone down the inspirational leader emphasis and focus more on the basics. Avoid the bureaucratic creep of box ticking. Your career advancement should not be your sole focus.
