Meet Mischa
It’s curious, but lunch at Roche is primarily used to network across departments and functions. It’s our contribution to innovation that employees have a tasty and healthy meal plus new insights and pleasant conversations. Every day I see people assembling in the lobby, greeting colleagues and talking to each other before having lunch together.

Roche as an employer offers many functions at one location: Research & Development, production and site services. Roche is also one of only few companies that have its own engineering department. It is exciting to work with so many different interfaces.

Meet Halka
My typical day at work is diverse, exciting and never boring. As a technical quality assurance manager, I am responsible for a team of six people, and we are basically in charge of equipment qualification, computerised system validation, and a lot of other aspects in conjunction with production, packaging and infrastructure. My work helps Roche to improve patients’ lives by ensuring that the production lines are properly set up to fill, lyophilise and pack our products.

Meet Axel
My work helps Roche to keep in touch with reality. In Marketing especially, we sometimes tend to get carried away by our own positive messages. Roche as an employer is rational and stable. With biosimilars for these top drugs on the horizon, one can most certainly trust that Roche’s values of Courage, Integrity and Passion will steer Roche successfully through this rougher sea of fiercer competition.
