Pros

Nice transition from Academia into Industry; Nice Postdoc community; Higher pay than academia but far away from what everyone else earns at the company; Benefits are great!

Cons

No opportunity to transition into other roles in the company; Big inequality within the company and it's hard to work long hours alongside people who earn 3 times the money and get a bonus and more and as a trainee you don't. More career opportunities and less academic structure would be nice, Genentech is kind of an academic institution within industry somehow!

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

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.
