Pros

There are so many pros to working here. First, it's the people. The coworkers are grounded and well informed. Furthermore, I felt like most of the people had a similar personality, which made it easier to work each other without conflict, or at least less conflict. Second, the environment is so stimulating. One feels like they are in some sci fi movie the moment he/she enters the building. Third, the benefits are amazing! Good luck to anyone interviewing and congratulations to anyone who has received an offer. Do not reject this wonderful place! I only left because I had to relocate more than 300 miles.

Cons

I cannot think of anything bad to say about working here. If one is working in the Manufacturing Department, there will be odd work hours (swing shift or grave shift), but this is not a con of Genentech, it is just the format of manufacturing. I did not have any bad experiences working here.

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.
