Pros
The Benefits at Genentech are amazing. I have access to Mental Health resources, Coaching, great Healthcare, and many more benefits. The people I work with are mission driven and care deeply about our work and others. They are also some of the smartest people I have ever known, so I always learn from them. Flexible work arrangements - I am able to WFH or go into the office, and this flexibility is important to me as a working parents.
Kontras
The Global Hours are rough. The People and Culture (HR) team went through a major transformation last year (2021) and we are no longer a local support team, but are now a Global function. I have calls at 6:00 AM and 10:00 - midnight. The Global model is still in the infancy and has a lot of kinks to work out. We are losing a lot of talent in the Bay area becasue of the new model :-(
