F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG

There is little to none of micro management (again depending on the department). People are highly proactive and efficient despite working 80%-90% remote. The project time line/communications move rather in the glacial pace. I actually was in stress having to push somebody to get a prompt response.

The management style depends on the department. The one I worked for (CXSD) doesn't value career building so much. The politics are somehow stronger and many people are always at risk to be replaced. New joiners are hired mostly as contractors these days. In reality, working here doesn't make you feel career stable like the company's image. Constant internal reorganisations (kinda messy). Things have changed a lot after COVID. It used to be nice before. Not a place for building up your work experience, in my opinion. Be ready to look for a new job after 2-3 years if you consider woking with them. There are standards and guidelines, but the company is so big as well as the amount of information that not everyone follows those protocols.

- Collaboration, people are very nice and collaborative.. - Work life balance

- Everyone deserves a great leader and there is definitely need to improve leadership . So many are there for a long time and not willing to adapt to new ways of working or staying up to date with new innovations and giving empowerment to their teams. Especially HR is the worst in this ...it is 10 years behind the industry norms. The new CEO should make tough decisions and bring the best leaders and cultivate the innovation culture back again.
