Avantages

Great pay and benefits Work-life balance is considered tough by some but in comparison to some other big pharma companies, it's fine This site has a growing sense of "team" The site is running full speed ahead now, previous management challenges seem to be gone The area around the site is a hidden gem, no desire to leave. Great culture, definitely a sense of "work hard but play hard" Product pipeline is insanely good

Inconvénients

There is continuous improvement but it isn't well organized; lacks solid foundation and understanding of "value add" Planning, scheduling, and link to marketing is clearly missing. Afraid to say "no" and balance production Global procedures are slow to change and seem to be built to justify existence of an overly large global unit. The manufacturing sites need more independence Class A falls far short of achieving World Class - lacks assessment of the culture Not sure how the company will keep up with the new products being developed

Avantages

Genentech's origin story and mission are genuinely inspiring — few companies can point to such a meaningful historical arc in medicine. Patient engagement is taken seriously and feels authentic, not performative. The campus is beautiful and the culture has real warmth.

Inconvénients

DDA is operating with significant gaps. First, the foundational data infrastructure is not mature enough to support the ambitions being set for the team. Second, the measurement culture has gotten ahead of the methodology, and no one in a position of authority seems to be asking hard questions about whether the numbers actually mean what they're being presented as meaning. Third, some management feel disconnected from the work itself, lacking the knowledge, hands-on experience, or relevant credentials. Individually any one of these would be manageable. Together these create an environment where it's hard to do rigorous work, rather work is performative, and be recognized for it.
