Very political. Owned by Roche and budgeting is tight for non-research non-manufacturing departments. Performance is only a small part of advancement, you also have to please people (i.e. management) in order to advance.

We appreciate your thoughtful comments. We’re happy to be able to offer competitive benefits & programs to our employees.
Thank you as well for your thoughts on performance reviews. While annual reviews are used as a means to measure milestones and goal accomplishments, they are also intended to provide rich feedback and to engage in valuable discussion. If you feel your reviews are meaningless, you might want to speak with your manager about getting real time feedback and coaching, which may be more beneficial for your development.
The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

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.
