Pros

It's not the worst out there, work life balance is treated well.

Cons

It is FAR from the high tech company they advertise to be. Wiped out benefits during covid, managers are trash and on yearly employee audits managers get horrible reviews but nothing changes, a revolving door of VIPs take all the funding while they blame the labs working on skeleton crews. VIP's directly tell you it's not about helping people, its about getting them a new yacht (no joke). Tons of office politics, and I've seen some disturbing anti-lgbt actions. Tons of company cover-ups whenever they do any wrongdoing. Not as bad as Thermo, but they will totally screw you over on pay and FTE conversion.

Thanks for taking time to share your view. We firmly believe that every employee at Roche deserves an excellent Leader – someone who inspires and encourages teamwork. For this reason, we formulated the “Leadership Commitments” in 2012 based on the input of 1,500 senior managers. They set clear expectations for today and the future. The aim is to promote and emphasise the importance of good managers at Roche. We expect everyone to demonstrate these commitments every single day. Thanks again for your review, we wish you all the best for your future within our company.
