Pros
Great culture and benefits for employees.
Cons
The company is moving a lot of positions out of South San Francisco to low cost countries.
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Working with top notch scientists to solve real life healthcare issues. Huge resource and support for research. Perks with free shuttle rides to work, on campus gym facilities, regular free food and events. Employees have great sense of societal contributions when our patients come and share their stories of how our medicines have helped change their lives. Great work life balance.
Cons
Promotion process is long. Lots of database / in-house tracking systems to navigate, while it's a pro for drug development documentation, it's time consuming and can slow down research progress sometimes.

Pros
The Benefits at Genentech are amazing. I have access to Mental Health resources, Coaching, great Healthcare, and many more benefits. The people I work with are mission driven and care deeply about our work and others. They are also some of the smartest people I have ever known, so I always learn from them. Flexible work arrangements - I am able to WFH or go into the office, and this flexibility is important to me as a working parents.
Cons
The Global Hours are rough. The People and Culture (HR) team went through a major transformation last year (2021) and we are no longer a local support team, but are now a Global function. I have calls at 6:00 AM and 10:00 - midnight. The Global model is still in the infancy and has a lot of kinks to work out. We are losing a lot of talent in the Bay area becasue of the new model :-(
