Roche

Nov 11, 2021 5 Comments

I'm being courted by Roche to join one of their sequencing teams as a principal level ML researcher.

Astrazeneca is good but my teams in London and I'm in the bay area and I barely get to network with anyone that I'm losing focus and barely motivated to work because I don't see a future. My manager has also noticed my getting disengaged.

How's the culture and the TC? Looking to move to a similar role but somewhere I can meet my colleagues over coffee once in few weeks and communicate on same timezone.

Current TC (~380k, principal level)

I'm also open to working in regular tech, just moved to pharma last year, so if your team/ company has applied scientist roles please ping me.
MS+ 2yoe + Phd + 7yoe.

    I tell you with confidence that AZ is the sh!ttiest pharma company ever on the planet … MedImmune is pretty much keeping the lights on and most of their pipeline is still TBD …
    The one after is GSK. Most of the British pharma are garbage.
    Genentech and Amgen are the best one so far or smaller biotechs

      Why ? The fact that I have to tell you while you are currently working at AZ is an indication that you are AZ material :)))

      I mean all of these companies focus on different things. Yes the earnings and stock is different, but if you are interested in a field of science that AZ specializes in, unlikely you'll find that opportunity at Genentech and vice versa. Of course for ML folks like me it doesn't matter. I don't even need to be in pharma.
