    Pros

    Being full time has great benefits in terms of Healthcare and 401k. Having fully paid holidays are a plus since being a contractor doesn't have that.

    Cons

    Managers push you to be "productive" for your entire day/shift even when things are slow. Hourly workers need to "work" for 8 hours vs salary can leave when they're done.

    Global Recruitment

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. Employees receive benefits in line with what they contribute, how they contribute and the influence they have on the company and thus on clients and patients. This is based on a good relationship between employees and leaders with a focus on valuable contributions. For leaders the leadership commitments are an integral part of their contribution. Next to the achievement of their yearly goals, leaders are rated on how they live the Roche values, apply core competencies and fulfill the Leadership Commitments. Every employee deserves great leaders. We expect all of Roche's leaders to inspire and motivate employees in their team and support them by offering opportunities to continually discover, learn, develop and excel. Thanks again for your review, we wish you all the best for your future within our company.

    Pros

    Great benefits and PTO. The campus is nice and company has growth with acquisitions and within the industry.

    Cons

    Management proclaims a certain culture, but they do to live it. Their internal survey ranked high because there are so many new employees who haven't learned what is really under the hood. Highly political and hierarchal. It would depend what area you work in and who you work for on how you will do. Go to Genentech which they own better environment and culture.
