Pros

Good benefits, PTO, unlimited sick time

Cons

Roche Tissue Diagnostics really underpays in multiple roles/functions/levels. It's actually embarrassing coming from a top-tier big pharma company. I'm getting poached by recruiters for a CDM and PM role (two) at very low hourly rates. It's shocking how low these rates are considering the responsibilities for the role itself. I know firsthand what encompasses the daily life/work involved and it's wearing 'multiple hats' nonstop in very fast-paced deliverables and multiple projects, including in-house studies. So these low $30/hr rates for a CDM is not OK and is not industry-standard.

Pros

The benefits are good so far just like any other company

Cons

Terrible managers Employees are getting away with traveling without using PTO when they are on EDO because they are friends with managers. This raises concerns regarding fairness, policy compliance, and equitable treatment of employees. If the manager dont like you, Your life will be hell and they will find the stupidest mistakes to kick you out. Again, some people get away of not using their pto and they will travel and claim they are working while manager is okay with it. Bunch of hypocrites
