Pros

Genentech does important work and has a phenomenal culture that places patients first--we do the right thing, period. We have a bright future due our strong, balanced pipeline of drugs in various stages of development, and a solid portfolio of leading products on the market today. And our executive leadership team is second to none. The benefits are great, my coworkers are smart and motivated, and I almost always look forward to coming to work every day.

Cons

We're going through some significant changes that have been challenging (installing SAP, seeking Class A certification in manufacturing, etc.), as you'd expect. In the past, we've set extremely aggressive goals that some felt set us up to fail.

Great salary and team! The interview process was smooth and effective.

Cons

To be determined, but so far many alignment meetings. Some folks have frustuations around the re-org and strategy changes.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
