Biogen Clinical Operations reviews

Serious problems in the Clinical Operations department in last few years. Expect to work nights and weekends and don't complain about it; random layoffs occur each year and then those eliminated headcount are completely replaced. Most of us are completely buried in email each day. Policies/procedures and departments change faster than you can keep up with and promotions go to very few of the most favored. Its all about who you know and if you appear to be buying-in to middle and senior management chaos. Human resources reps care only about supporting Sr Management and may not be that trustworthy. Lots of fear to speak up or raise long-outstanding problems. Departments are constantly re-named and or re-organized so you never know who is doing what. Its never clear what you have to do to get promoted and its getting more difficult to take a class or attend a conference.

-Frequently changing operational strategy and culture messaging -So much focus on improving processes that actual work can suffer or be confused -Cultural norm to work from home at night (to keep up with amount of work) -Difficult to be promoted (i.e., I worked in my role for an entire year before I was officially given the title and matching salary)
