Thank you for your review. We greatly appreciate learning more about the areas in which our employees think we can improve. Attracting and retaining brilliant people in this competitive market has and will always be a high priority for Genentech. The feedback you, and other employees like you, leave in your Glassdoor reviews helps us do so. We agree that the cost of living in the Bay Area has been steadily increasing in recent years. To respond to that reality, this is a prioritized topic at the highest levels of leadership. As with any complex situation, we may not see immediate changes but it is certainly a topic being taken very seriously. Thanks again for your feedback.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
