Relatively informal, open organization, opportunities to experiment, very political environment, conservative marketing. - Global Marketing Roche Employee Review

Time spent on organizational politics far exceeds that of getting the job done. Pharma and diagnostics completely independent divisions. Scientific and financial background with a very conservative marketing culture. Freedom to experiment but no desire to change, largely fueled by portfolio success. Mix of traditionally decentralized organization and recentralization of a number of function, creating some confusion, compounded by a clash of culture with Genentech's.
