Program Goals and Scope
Business Perspectives was designed to hire great talent at an early stage in their career, and accelerate their development across geographies & functions, enabling them to be a key contributor to our company’s purpose, and above all a differentiator to patients lives.
Hungry to learn and prepared to work hard, we have a genuine interest in your career path & aspirations. As you display the right mindset & behaviors, we want you to reach your full potential by taking on stretched assignments, participating in pilot projects & doing on-the-job shadowing.
Innovation is at the core of our culture; it is not just the sum of great technology, key acquisitions, smart people and tough decision making. Our company’s corporate culture matches and supports it. Our continued success depends on our ability to replenish our pharma and diagnostics pipeline through further innovation breakthroughs.
The Business Perspectives Program does exactly that: create an environment in which potential & diversity of thinking is leveraged to shape the future of Roche, the future of Healthcare.
