Pros

The people are completely friendly and helpful. The employees have a genuine care for their jobs and their impact on customers. Genentech has one of the strongest company cultures I've ever worked at.

Cons

The responsibilities I was given were too small. I was not totally challenged as an engineer and not really required to portray much technical knowledge.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
