Pros

Modern office located in a prime area. High-quality ergonomic chairs, well-designed interiors, and well-equipped meeting rooms. The company is expanding in India, particularly in Pune, creating new job opportunities. Strong exposure to the pharmaceutical domain, offering valuable industry knowledge. Cab facility provided. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Prevalence of office politics and instances of micromanagement. Not recommended for early-career professionals unless no other option is available. Subpar medical insurance policy with no top-up option available. Inefficient and unprofessional finance and HR (hiring) teams. Plans to expand the workforce are leading to a reduction in employee benefits. Long-tenured employees from Roche may not be very supportive technically. Networking and participation in extra-curricular activities often weigh heavily in promotion decisions, sometimes more than technical performance. Mandatory three-day office attendance policy.

Pros

The benefits are great and the pay is better than most.

Cons

They care more about forcing efficiency measures than solving root problems. They want to enact "morale boost" events but refuse to ask why we were unhappy. This year they decided to devalue our pay and our efforts by giving everyone a static 2% raise
