      Pros

      Great work culture: Management knows what they're doing when they bring people in -- FTEs and contractors alike. Competitive pay and a considerable boost to your resume. Work alongside some of the friendliest and most intelligent colleagues.

      Cons

      Contractor to FTE path is notoriously hard, however it's relatively easy to translate contractor experience at Genentech into a lucrative position elsewhere.

      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.
