It's not the job but management and leadership team's lack of integrity and open racism at senior manager & above level. Growth and development opportunities exist only for white. Promotion prospects directly correlated with incompetence!
Analogy: Like in Kite Biomarin called Roche to send the cavalry to rescue the company. As in Kite it is being done by headcount reduction. Jeff A is a prominent example. Some executive and senior vice-presidents would go soon since they do not contribute but interfere by looking busy. Stock market is not impressed. Rarely companies ask the capable people who already left to return and help rebuild. Rather we may expect people streaming from Genentech and Roche following the CEO. However, they do not have right experience to match the Biomarin niche. Contraction expected, possibly 15% reduction in workforce
Haven for many underperformers.
Their main occupation is protecting a job. National connections count in hiring and career.
Still it is too big to fail organization.
Roche ordered Genentech to work on application of AI in drug discovery. At Roche no one really understands it, but to their surprise Genentech is not up to the task after years of dependency on Roche.The made an agreement with Invidia who will be the real beneficiary by familiarizing itself with this domain.
new ceo is interviewing existing vice-presidents to see who would stay and who has to go. This is under pretext to introduce himself and know them better. Considerations for external candidates are already in place.
