Pros
Plenty of opportunity if you are young and shiny. Great heights to be reached if you are ready to walk the walk and talk the talk. Just close your eyes and enjoy the ride. Plenty of chance to travel and see the world for the keen-eyed. The best thing about Roche is the customer. Get out there and meet them. Thats where the best stories are.
Cons
The company has always been far too internally focused. It is a deep seated element of the Roche culture that has not been effectively countered and so now it is just being ignored, and consequences are coming to the surface. Long term internal focus is costly in the long term. The company has changed over recent years as margins have dwindled and the diagnostics branch prepares to greet commoditisation of its once dominant product offering. Experience as a quality is stepping aside for generic thinking and business-by-textbook. The Dx branch did not take enough of advantage of its leading position while its competitors suffered major setbacks. Now the competition has caught up, it is becoming difficult to differentiate, meaning an increasing reliance on customer loyalty, which benefits from long term relationships with trusted company specialists, whose experience is now undervalued. Available resources are reallocated to patch ailing hardware that should have been obsolesced many years ago. Take your experience somewhere where they know it is valuable and and never let them tell you that you can't do what you believe.
