Inconvénients
The badge color mentality is unbelievable: if you're a blue badge (permanent full time) then Genentech can't be beat! If you're a red badge (highly paid consultant) then you're treated with respect but the working conditions are terrible: 10 people jammed into bull pens so tightly you're knocking elbows with each other. People find places to "hide" with their laptops so they can get work in peace and quiet and you're not allowed to work in an empty conference room either. Green badges are the bottom of the barrel, usually clerical workers, jammed into skinny tables in the hallways where everyone walks by and can't help but look over all the time, or the bull pens or forced to occupy tiny cubicles barely big enough for one person no less two.
