Genentech Again Named the No. 1 Employer in Science Magazine Survey
Genentech, Inc. has been named by Science magazine as "the top employer and most admired company in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries" for the third consecutive year. The honor is the result of a survey sponsored by Science magazine, along with the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and conducted by Senn-Delaney Culture Diagnostics and Measurement (SDCDM).
"Our culture is the key to our success and what attracts world class, dedicated, and innovative scientists to Genentech," said Richard Scheller, Ph.D., executive vice president, Research at Genentech. "As we grow, we strive to maintain the aspects of our culture that drive creativity and innovation. Scientific rigor drives our decisions and a desire to develop breakthrough medicines to help patients is our motivation."
The survey, involving Science readers and subscribers from the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, academia and consulting, was aimed at determining the companies in the life science industries with the best reputations as employers and why. Respondents were asked to rate companies on a list of specific attributes. Similar to the previous two years, Genentech was cited for the characteristics of: being an innovative leader in the industry, having a clear vision toward the future, and being a company where work and personal values are aligned.
