Pluspunten

Used to be a lot, now not so much - still very good benefits and a six week paid time off sabbatical after working for six years

Minpunten

1. ROCHE (FHLR) - 100% own Genentech since 2009, at first they left us pretty much alone - NOW - completely have taken over - more and more senior roles moved to the HQ at Basel. 2. ROCHE - it's now all about the bottom line to the accountants in Finance - more and more jobs at lower levels being 'exported' to cheaper locations like Canada (Mississauga), Costa Rica, Hungary (Budapest). It's cheaper to hire people there. ENTIRE functions, like Vendor Finance and Procurement have been or are in the process of being moved away from the Genentech South San Francisco campus 3. Almost impossible to get promoted - unless you know the right contacts - it's not at all about merit and HR don't want to promote anyone as it means paying more salary to that person

Pluspunten

Great salary and team! The interview process was smooth and effective.

Minpunten

To be determined, but so far many alignment meetings. Some folks have frustuations around the re-org and strategy changes.

Pluspunten

Genentech's origin story and mission are genuinely inspiring — few companies can point to such a meaningful historical arc in medicine. Patient engagement is taken seriously and feels authentic, not performative. The campus is beautiful and the culture has real warmth.

Minpunten

DDA is operating with significant gaps. First, the foundational data infrastructure is not mature enough to support the ambitions being set for the team. Second, the measurement culture has gotten ahead of the methodology, and no one in a position of authority seems to be asking hard questions about whether the numbers actually mean what they're being presented as meaning. Third, some management feel disconnected from the work itself, lacking the knowledge, hands-on experience, or relevant credentials. Individually any one of these would be manageable. Together these create an environment where it's hard to do rigorous work, rather work is performative, and be recognized for it.
