Pros

Biogen embraces new employees and nurtures them with a solid platform to be successful in their career. The work culture and work/life balance is amazing. They truly have one of the good benefits package (Please don't just look at the salary alone as a compensation, but look at total compensation with benefit). There is a huge scope for scientific innovation, loads of internal trainings, LinkedIn trainings, cross functional career moves presents one with excellent career development opportunities along with amazing people makes Biogen a best place to work. Biogen also rewards their long standing employees with extra vacation, sabbatical etc.

Cons

Salary scale can change with different groups within Biogen even for same titles and compared to market. Recently, HR has done a lot of level adjustments to ensure people are compensated with experience and inline with internal equity. If you are someone looking for fast growth in short span of time, then it is not the place unless you are in right high priority projects. If you are someone who wants to invest time and grow deeper into science/technology development then Biogen is a place for you. Overall, I love working here and it depends on the group, coworkers and manager.
