Pros
Best in class for biotech research, top-scientist, ample resources available for research and very thorough evaluation of every project. Very data-oriented.
Cons
Career advancement opportunities are extremely limited (almost non-existent) in research at Genentech. A research associate with a master's degree has never made to the "scientist" level. This kind of hierarchical structure and neglect for one's career outside of lab is hindering the talent.
