Pros
- Things are pretty stable in the company (its not going anywhere) - Benefits are expansive - Good work/life balance
Cons
- Seems that the only way to progress in the company is to jump teams. Its rare to see promotions for people who stay on the same team, only when they move to another team. - Pay is much less than similar positions in the area - Disconnect between upper management and actual workers

Internship is focused on helping the intern learn and grow more than on busy work. Projects are meaningful and have a lasting impact with upper management.
Cons
If you need to be micro-managed this is not the place for you

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. Thanks again for your review, we wish you all the best for your future within our company.

Great career growth potential A overage average salary range
Cons
High upper management turn over
Continue reading - Former Intern, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Friendly people to work with, always willing to lend a helping hand if you need it. They really emphasize teamwork. Definitely felt like I was part of the team, as opposed to "just the intern".
Cons
The work/life balance leans more towards work sometimes. It was common that our team would be swamped with work, then be asked to do more work on top of that. Too many meetings during the day, which limits productivity and increases overtime usage to get stuff done. Most of upper management is/has been replaced with Roche people; not sure if that's good or bad for the long term.
