Pros

Genentech is a great company that offers high performing employees opportunities to develop new skills. There are always opportunities for lateral moves. The people are incredibly smart and collaborative, creating a healthy work environment where employees are treated well and feel valued. The benefits are also hard to beat.

Cons

Due to a reorganization back in 2018, it has become very challenging to get people management experience. Also, it can be difficult to get promoted as there is a lot of internal competition for any Team Lead or Director level role, which is very discouraging for the pool of experienced and high performing Senior Managers.

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.
