Pros

Friendly and helpful corporate culture, good products, company is a market leader or even a market dominator in many areas. Good sales, marketing and supporting structure. Very good facilities on site- great office, cantine, bar, free gym, free bikes. Stimulating to develop yourself and working on your weaknesses.

Cons

Carrer opportunities are limited. Sales experience is required to progress within organisation. Very sales driven affiliate, sometimes lack of strategy and concentrating on delivering numbers. Work-life balance is rather poor, it is expected of you constantly to take on new challenges and overachieve. Roche is not interested in keeping people regardles of your track record and seniority. Very hard training on Roche values, if you don't fit in, they will get rid of you rather quickly. If you wish to progress within organisation be prepared to move to Germany or Switzerland and learn German.

Pros

The benefits are great and the pay is better than most.

Cons

They care more about forcing efficiency measures than solving root problems. They want to enact "morale boost" events but refuse to ask why we were unhappy. This year they decided to devalue our pay and our efforts by giving everyone a static 2% raise
