Pluspunten
This used to be a wonderful company. Lots of perks, great retirement contribution by the company, highly skilled and motivated people and a great mission. Bonus programs and decent pay.
Minpunten
However, it is deteriorating consistently for 2 years now and there is no end in sight. 9/80 option was eliminated and there's no intention to bring it back. Budget constraints are getting worse and worse as the company is fighting legacy problems. Research is taking a step back, product development is now done with external "partners" instead of in-house, software development has long been out-sourced and the trend is being continued. There's really no engineering work left that's worth doing and the future for that type of work looks bleak. Roche doesn't seem to mind that highly qualified and high-salaried engineers sit around and create documents and presentations all day as they keep on funding this travesty but if you are a motivated engineer who wants to expand your knowledge and learn new things in your field, then stay away. The Culture is toxic in some departments. Senior managers that care only about themselves and actively keep their employees from growing so they can control them and make sure they won't be a threat to them. Lots of talk about values and opportunity but it feels like empty promises when it is not actively lived.
