How are flexible working hours at Genentech?

Great culture, flexible work schedule, great people, interesting work, minimal on call support, good work life balance

Work load is heavily dependent on tech transfers. When there’s a tech transfer you’ll be very busy. Workforce is very lean.

Great work life balance, pay, benefits, PTO

Depending on which group youre in, there are often layoffs

Great benefits, flexible schedule, great pay

No true metrics equals subjective reviews. Everyone trying to prove their worth. They don't want you to be too patient centric- instead more business focused

Great work life balance; flexible working hours

no career growth, no company growth

Stellar pay, great benefits, friendly coworkers, flexible hours

Slow-moving, bureaucratic, behind in tech

Very flexible schedule (avererage 2.5 days on site, friendly and supportive coworkers, great amenities and always something new you can learn or project you can try.

Isn't as competitive in terms of salary as finance or tech but that's to be expected

Great science, interesting and meaningful work, flexible hours, beautiful campus

High workload, unpredictable layoffs, questionable business priorities

Genentech appears to have adopted the “no jerks” rule. The vast majority of people are collaborative, positive, and helpful. Even people in the C-suite are approachable and treat employees with respect. With that also comes a lot of respect for time outside of work. Vacations are expected; longer time out of office is backfilled to ensure that work (and guilt) doesn’t pile up. It is a great company for someone who has family members to care for.

There have been a lot of organizational changes the past few years. Just when you think you hit a groove, something changes. It can be frustrating at times.

Flexible schedule. Must be on site 3 days/week. Good compensation/benefits package. Great people. Significant autonomy.

Work-Life balance can get a little strained. Always asked to do something extra, in addition to your core function. The more you can do, the more you get assigned. It never ends. Inconsistent recognition and merit awards.

work with really smart folks

Seems like company is falling behind. Not as agile.
