Business Outlook

Pros

Company's mission, improving diagnostic for cancer patients, really motivates you to work harder. The leadership team has continued with the founder's passion successfully. Competetive Salary (Even in Silicon Valley). Excellent Benefits (401k and Medical Insurance). But if earning money is your only goal you would do better to look else where. Challenging Work. Although this is Ventana Medical, This is really a division of Roche Diagnostics, which is a behemoth of a company.

Cons

The company is very process oriented. This is really a necessity for FDA regulated companies. Not a Startup Culture.

Pros

The work was challenging, made good use of my skills and gave me exposure to an interesting technology.

Cons

Management, in my group anyway, was very top down and not really supportive. In my opinion there could have been greater consideration given to suggestions from the rank and file.

Pros

Good people. Collaboration within R&D is pretty good. Technologies used are cool (but a few years out-of-date). Pride in the applications our products enable for customers. Flex working hours.

Cons

Difficult to advance along a technical career path. Lack of vision by management. Getting clobbered by competition.
