Pros

The community feel, benefits, and knowing the value of the work performed were the highlights of working there.

Cons

Take my thoughts with a grain of salt - it is such a huge company that each department will have it's own unique pros/cons. Mine had frustrating upper management that seemed to make decisions to our work schedule or staff numbers caring more about their own performance reviews that the actual impact to ergo issues or sustainability following the ripple effects of their decisions.

Pros

Genentech's origin story and mission are genuinely inspiring — few companies can point to such a meaningful historical arc in medicine. Patient engagement is taken seriously and feels authentic, not performative. The campus is beautiful and the culture has real warmth.

Cons

DDA is operating with significant gaps. First, the foundational data infrastructure is not mature enough to support the ambitions being set for the team. Second, the measurement culture has gotten ahead of the methodology, and no one in a position of authority seems to be asking hard questions about whether the numbers actually mean what they're being presented as meaning. Third, some management feel disconnected from the work itself, lacking the knowledge, hands-on experience, or relevant credentials. Individually any one of these would be manageable. Together these create an environment where it's hard to do rigorous work, rather work is performative, and be recognized for it.
