Pros
Substantial resources
Good reputation among physicians
Opportunities for development
Adept at identifying takeover targetsCons
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.Roche 2019-02-08 08:03 PST![Roche Logo]()

Flexi-time was great. The Sports and Social club had an event almost monthly, which made it easy to meet and interact with others in the company . Great people. Great culture

Some people were in positions they weren't suited to. Sometimes there was an attitude of "I'm here longer, so I know best".
Advice to Management
Keep up the good work!

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookPros
Great pipeline, stable future, good growth and development opportunities. Good training programme. Well established within industry, great salary and benefits package.
Cons
Not enough support provided, often left to do the work of two people and them get blame if work isn't up to standard, get told this work needs to be done by tomorrow, stay late at office to complete and then told they dont want you working late.
Advice to Management
Have a consistent message. Realise where you are stretched too thin and don't blame the employee for not getting the work done of two people. It's your responsibility to provide support.
