Vantaggi

Genentech attracts people who're interested in its mission, not just making money. Being mission-driven, it's easy to argue for the right decision. But being non-hierarchical, it can take time to make those decisions.

Svantaggi

Being owned by Roche, and no longer having profit sharing: Roche needed new life, and bought Genentech to save itself. Roche as many more developed corporate functions, but they get in the way of the mission of the company. Because of integration with Roche, there is much more confusion about corporate goals; in the past, you could print them on a T-shirt, and up to 70% of employees knew how their own jobs connected with corporate goals (US avg = 30%). Now, I'm sure it's less.

Great salary and team! The interview process was smooth and effective.

To be determined, but so far many alignment meetings. Some folks have frustuations around the re-org and strategy changes.

Vantaggi

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Svantaggi

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
