      What is a typical working day like at Genentech?

      Genentech reviews

      Work hard play hard

      Sr. manufacturing supervisor
      Former employee
      San Francisco, CA
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Open book in where the company is headed

      Cons

      lack of off shift support

      Great company on paper…not so much in practice

      Quality assurance specialist
      Former employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits—sabbatical if you can last 6 years, but lack of upward mobility (or even horizontal mobility in many cases) will likely lead to burnout before you get there.

      Cons

      VERY office politics centered, but of course they’ll say it’s not. Night shift is your best bet to avoid it, mostly, but day shift will suck the life out of you if you actually care about what you do and the patients you’re really working to help. They’re constantly restructuring and moving people/roles around, which makes day-to-day ops hectic, confusing, and frustrating. If you like constant chaos, this place is the career challenge for you.
