I don't know what works well since for as long as there are other options I have decided not to go to Roche. My experience with this interview was the worst in my professional career.

I was invited for an interview about 4 weeks after I submitted my application in their online portal Workday. Due to Covid-19, the interview was conducted via Google Meet. The hiring manager turned up wearing a shabby looking polo shirt and his colleague in t-shirt. Worse, the hiring manager deactivated both audio and video and left the screen three times during the interview and while I was speaking. Then they ask several questions about my professional background and experience in which the answers were clearly in the CV. But the worst of it all was to ask me, how long is my notice period when perusing my CV would have revealed that I have taken a break since end of 2019. They barely have read my CV! I have never felt so disrespected before that I withdrew all my running applications for Roche in Workday the same day after that interview. 2 weeks after, I receive an email from them saying that my profile would have been excellent if not for my lack of in-depth practical experience and knowledge of SAP. Well, SAP was never mentioned in the job description, least emphasised as a go-no go criterion. But it did not matter to me whatever their reasons were, because I have already withdrawn my application in Workday. Aside from being unprofessional and disrespectful, these people and whoever is in charge of HR were also not talking to each other. The entire hiring process in addition to being slow, was an embarrassing revelation.

Many events are offered, further development is offered, the management and also the company philosophy mean well.

Many cross-border commuters enable their relatives to take a job in the company without being qualified for it. Many "simple" jobs are given to the nearby border area, although these can be covered within the country. Swiss people or people living in Switzerland are excluded. Managers who have already spoiled the working environment for employees in other companies are now being hired by Roche and are destroying even the few jobs here.

The company is wealthy and has a strong product portfolio. World leader.

Roche is not fair to employees. They hire internal employees and then fire them for convenience after the work is done. The AVR is basically promoting Roche's interests and not the employees. Info for Rotkreuz.

People are no longer the focus. It's all about money and power.

Has changed a lot with the personnel development .it will be reduced with salami tactics

-Subsidized canteen food -Distribute tasks -Insight into different departments -Insight behind the scenes of production -Independent work

-Work on employee appreciation -Improve communication -Watch the leadership style of the supervisor and their reference persons -Keep promises and continue to promote motivated and committed employees and not oust/bully them

Roche is one of the largest investors in research and development worldwide. In Switzerland alone, Roche spent 2.4 billion Swiss francs last year. Last year Roche employed some 13,000 people in Switzerland from over 100 nations. This makes Switzerland one of the three largest Roche sites in the world - alongside the USA and Germany.

The success of a company depends to a large extent on the qualifications and leadership qualities of its superiors. Overbearing superiors are reluctant to accept feedback. Poor managers keep their employees small and do not give them any freedom to make decisions. Excessive control is a sign of insufficient leadership qualities. Under an arrogant superior, teams develop far below their potential, since coaching or mentoring is not provided for in such a management style. Unfortunately, HR is always on the side of superiors in case of disagreements, which means that employees have little confidence in HR.

- Production under high pressure is the only goal of the new Roche agenda

- Unfair job/duty sharing! - Nepotism - Germans and French among themselves (groupings) - Women are preferred in all positions, even without having experience - Newcomers are paid very poorly - Promotion opportunities only for personnel with doctoral degrees - No "work-life" balance - Pressure from new, inexperienced managers who have little technical knowledge - HR only sticks to executives - Canteen food quality poor and very expensive
