Vantaggi

The name of the company. Innovative ideas, on the forefront the latest technology, lots of resources, and job variety.

Svantaggi

A lot of times employees opinion for Senior management is not taken into consideration. The people above you will not present your ideas to their superiors if they know it is not what their superiors would like to hear eventhough it may be a great idea. People are afraid to stick their necks out for others. People will do everything to protect their own reputation. It is generally hard to get promoted. It's not uncommon for it to take 3-4 yrs. to go from a research assistant to a res. asscociate, and another 6 years to get a senior Res. associate title. There are always people who are favor more than others. There can be some very long work days.

Vantaggi

Genentech's origin story and mission are genuinely inspiring — few companies can point to such a meaningful historical arc in medicine. Patient engagement is taken seriously and feels authentic, not performative. The campus is beautiful and the culture has real warmth.

Svantaggi

DDA is operating with significant gaps. First, the foundational data infrastructure is not mature enough to support the ambitions being set for the team. Second, the measurement culture has gotten ahead of the methodology, and no one in a position of authority seems to be asking hard questions about whether the numbers actually mean what they're being presented as meaning. Third, some management feel disconnected from the work itself, lacking the knowledge, hands-on experience, or relevant credentials. Individually any one of these would be manageable. Together these create an environment where it's hard to do rigorous work, rather work is performative, and be recognized for it.
