Pros

Good pay (one of the highest you can find), awesome benefits (one of the best and the most comprehensive you can find), good work life balance (not the best because working from home is not allowed often). Tuition reimbursement 100% (limited to the number of classes you take per year).

Cons

The same job forever. Very difficult to move because no preference is given to the internal candidates. Promotions are only in R&D, the rest of organization does not see any. Each time they post position - they bring a pool of external candidates. Managers do not promote their employees unless you are in R&D. I have seen people stuck for 10 years not being able to move even though the company is huge.

Pros

Excellent Employee Benefits and beautiful facilities

Cons

As a seasoned quality professional I could not recommend enough that you stay far away from this company. The entire Global Quality program is run on gaslighting. Procedures are vague and cryptic and the management solution is always to just copy and paste from another site. You will be told to "speak up" and its an open and collaborative environment, but that could not be further from the truth. Roche is a toxic environment that is run by cliques that pick and choose who gets to succeed. If you dare to speak up you're targeted and ostracized. If you want to succeed there you just need to nod head in agreement and try to follow the cryptic task that is gonna set you up for failure anyway. Success is completely contingent on how well you gossip and politic. The "Branchberg Mafia" is run on emotions and direction will change day to day depending on how leadership feels that day. Again I recommend looking somewhere else if you're looking to make an impact and enjoy a challenge. If you enjoy being a sheep or like weak and emotional management. This is the place for you.
