      Pros

      Fair pay scale Training budget

      Cons

      Technical teams are under the leadership of non-technical managers. If you possess strong technical skills, you might find frustration in dealing with managers proposing strange and baseless ideas. Despite the company's global presence, the teams remain isolated and resistant to embracing diversity. The majority of projects are outsourced to external firms. Given that it's a pharmaceutical company rather than an IT one, exercise caution before proceeding unless there are no other alternatives.

      Thanks for your feedback and input. Employees receive benefits in line with what they contribute, how they contribute and the influence they have on the company and thus on clients and patients. This is based on a good relationship between employees and leaders with a focus on valuable contributions. For leaders the leadership commitments are an integral part of their contribution. Next to the achievement of their yearly goals, leaders are rated on how they live the Roche values, apply core competencies and fulfill the Leadership Commitments. We find ourselves in a rapidly changing environment and, as such, certain transformations are unavoidable so that we can continue to offer our patients the best and most innovative solutions. We are very sorry to hear that you have had a bad experience with this. It is very important to us that employees feel comfortable at Roche and that good cooperation is encouraged. Thanks again for your review, we wish you all the best for your future.

      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.
