Genentech
To ensure employees at this biotech and drug company are up-to-date with the latest research, it gives $10,000 in tuition reimbursement every year. Genentech also provides resources for employees to publish academic papers. And to ensure its scientists don't get burned out, the company offers six-week paid sabbaticals after six years. Employees can use these sabbaticals for their own research or vacations. Senior VP of development sciences Sara Kenkare-Mitra spent her sabbatical teaching dance to children with disabilities.
