Diversity & Inclusion

See how diversity plays an important role in all aspects of our business, from our hiring practices and benefits choices to development opportunities and the fundamental ways in which we make decisions and conduct our daily activities.

Benefits

Genentech offers all the comprehensive benefits you'd expect — health and medical, financial, time off and commuting — plus extras and conveniences that allow you to bring your best to the business and your personal life.

Changing the Course of Medicine

When you work at Genentech, you'll come to understand that changing the course of medicine requires the kind of inspiration that can only come from a combined commitment to patients, science and people.

Patients

Everything we do at Genentech is driven by a desire to make a difference in the lives of patients. Their individual stories inspire our researchers to do groundbreaking science and motivate us all to continue developing new treatment options for people with serious or life-threatening diseases. It's the tireless mother who gives her kids 100 percent while hiding the pain from rheumatoid arthritis. It's a young boy coming to grips with cystic fibrosis. It's a new grandfather who just learned he has stage IV colon cancer. These are the people who remind us of what we do and why — day after day.

Science

The passion that drives Genentech is the belief that the science of life — biology — holds the keys to solving life's toughest health challenges. Innovative science is the basis of our existence and the foundation for our future. To achieve our goals, we approach opportunities and challenges with an open mind, challenge the status quo, champion new ideas and take prudent risks. And, while we recognize that failure is a possible outcome, we focus our attention on long-term success and the difference we can make in the lives of patients.

People

Succeeding in the work we do requires exceptional people. We bring together the most talented employees we can find, and then we provide them with the opportunity to be themselves. We do this by encouraging diversity in all its forms — thought, skill, experience, culture and style. Each individual strengthens Genentech by offering unique and meaningful perspectives. In fostering this type of environment, we feel our employees are able to deliver their greatest contributions to Genentech and, most importantly, to our patients.

Working here is living a Life Inspired.
