Pros
Genentech treats its employees extremely well. The benefits are unlike those seen at any other company. They have the standard health, dental, and vision insurances as well as life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, as well as very good disability insurance. For most regular employees there are stock options, an employee stock purchase plan, a 401K match up to 5% with an additional 2% automatic company contribution, as well as very healthy bonuses. They also have many other little perks like free espresso and they will pay for you to take public transportation to work.
Cons
The company has gotten so large that there is now the traditional bureaucracy that comes along with that size of company.
