Genentech – “Satisfaction with your job depends on which department you are part of”

Pros

The company offers many, many tools to let you do your job easier and to make your personal life easier. Great campus life, great tranportation services, great community spirit. Certain departments have more fun than others and have more opportunities for career growth

Cons

Extremely competetive! Especially if you want to internally make a career transition. There is a great difference between the research, development, and business groups on campus.

Advice to Senior Management

A Ph.D. does not always automatically make you a good manager. Keep up the good work with the new management training program.
