Current Employee – been working at Roche full-time for more than a year
Pros – good leadership makes all the difference. despite the size of our group we had a manager who would take the time to talk to each member at least once a week to try and get an opinion from everyone who was involved in the work. Gave everyone a feeling they were part ofthe team
Cons – no so much flexibility in the job. i didn't care for the workspace either, too cramped and a bit run down and in need of a new coat of paint
Advice to Senior Management – managers who engage their subordinates are worth their weight in gold. perhaps you realized this when you promoted her and we got someone else who had a somewhat different take on life.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
