Pros

- good benefits - some really amazing coworkers (until they get laid off)

Cons

- constant re-orgs, and there's never a well thought out plan, so the people at the bottom are constantly being thrown into chaos - the quality of the leadership team decreases with each re-org; leaders are chosen based on favoritism, not on knowledge or skills - leaders have no commitment to patients or quality, they only care about lining their pockets - training sucks - people who actually care and try to make improvements are labeled complainers and are not given opportunities to advance, or they're laid off - hypocrisy, lies, gaslighting, double standards

Pros

Excellent Employee Benefits and beautiful facilities

Cons

As a seasoned quality professional I could not recommend enough that you stay far away from this company. The entire Global Quality program is run on gaslighting. Procedures are vague and cryptic and the management solution is always to just copy and paste from another site. You will be told to "speak up" and its an open and collaborative environment, but that could not be further from the truth. Roche is a toxic environment that is run by cliques that pick and choose who gets to succeed. If you dare to speak up you're targeted and ostracized. If you want to succeed there you just need to nod head in agreement and try to follow the cryptic task that is gonna set you up for failure anyway. Success is completely contingent on how well you gossip and politic. The "Branchberg Mafia" is run on emotions and direction will change day to day depending on how leadership feels that day. Again I recommend looking somewhere else if you're looking to make an impact and enjoy a challenge. If you enjoy being a sheep or like weak and emotional management. This is the place for you.
