Genentech had the good fortune and luxury of 3 blockbuster drugs hitting the market over a short time period. The success allowed for a large margin for error on all projects, launches, people, etc. for many years that followed.

The three successful products also gave the company and individuals a false reality that everything they touched would turn to gold. Hitting the reset button makes complete sense as Genentech needs to position itself to be competitive. They have miscalculated Tecentriq's impact in the market and based years of budgetary decisions off it's potential success. The pipeline is finally being viewed realistically and not artificially pumped up to employees. It was a fantastic ride! Take what you've learned (good/bad) and make an impact and difference at a new organization.

Sounds good but trust in leadership is lost. We get that downsizing will be on-going but the way it's handled is important to the morale of the entire organization. BOLD was one lie after another and then the MS team gets hit for no sound reason other than too many reps were knowingly hired. No integrity. Very hard to witness from someone who's been at GNE for many years.
 






I'm in the SE region and the issue is, we lost most of the good reps and kept ones that have no clue what they are doing.We even hired a primary care rep with out oncology experience. The managers also have no idea what they are doing. They are not trusted, they lie to you and, will stab you in the back. It's a sad situation over here. time to move on if you can.

Wow. Genentech hit an all time low when they hired a PC rep. Whoa, look out.

This isn't limited to the SE region. It's universal across the nation. The managers are trying to hang on just like everyone else and will do anything to keep their jobs.

Managers need to hire lower salary peeps to save money. It will take awhile to catch up to them RE: productivity. Buys them time til their job is on the line
