Genentech

Approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mark a truly special time at Genentech. Bell ringing events celebrate bringing medicines to patients and acknowledge the many employees who worked tirelessly to make them happen. In the past year, we have celebrated four approvals by the FDA — a record in our history.

    Employees say: "Even though the company is large and global I never feel out of the loop as it relates to performance, company-wide initiatives, our pipeline, etc."   "The support that GNE gives to the LGBT community is outstanding. They sponsor events (such as participation and a street viewing suite for SF Gay Pride parade) and give visible support when injustice rears its head." Read the Great Place to Work review.
