I've seen with Pfizer it depends on the role on if you need to be in the office. If it's hybrid it is 2 to 3 days a week. They are really good about the flexibility.
I know Sanofi is flexible so if you aren't related to manufacturing you're not required to go. Some people go 1 day a week at the least and others related to mfg functions are 5 days mandatory
Roche and Genentech are a no go - they're tracking us and HR informs your manager if you dont go 3x a week or "the majority of the time". I know some people got lucky with their remote positions for genentech south city they still hold but i dont think theyre giving those out anymore
I know there's some other companies that might not be the big names that are still remote.
They packaged them out pretty good.. that might be why you see messages that are "positive" but doesn't mean its ok with how they went about letting everyone go. Vacaville is next on the chopping block.
They think they handled ssf well and are trying to "do a good job with vv". Ssf is being positioned as clinical + little commercial mfg so there will still be a few clinical based jobs coming there. Vacaville is intended to be fully not genentech.
My follow up question would also be what hybrid means for these companies. I know Takeda sounds like a regular 3 days a week in the office deal, but is that the case everywhere? Could I possibly negotiate down to 1 day in office a week?
At Abbvie if you are strict science (discovery,ops, mfr) you are in every day, even if you work in something like comp or other data science. If you work the more traditional office job it’s hybrid 2-3 days a week in office.
