Lorinda Bankhead
Senior Supervisor - VV Purification Operations Group (POG)
When Lorinda Bankhead came to Genentech, she was fresh out of the army and new to California. "I didn't know anyone at Genentech or in California. But it didn't take long before my colleagues made me feel like I was home. Each one touched my life in a unique way, helping me feel welcome as I made the transition. They are truly an extended family." Today, Lorinda enjoys interacting with all of the people she encounters, from her own staff to the various support groups that ensure successful operations. "I get to connect with a diverse group of professionals; it's very rewarding."
Lorinda also makes the most of Genentech's benefits and extras. She recently returned to school to pursue a Master of Arts in Leadership thanks to Genentech's reimbursement program. And, she attends company events regularly. "I'd only been at Genentech for a few months when we celebrated the company's 30th anniversary. It was an afternoon of food and entertainment, but more importantly, it showed me just how much Genentech's leadership values and rewards its employees."
"If you're about to join Genentech, be prepared to be wowed! Everyone here has brought something unique and extraordinary to the company, and you will, too. Plus, you'll learn something new every day."
