Pros

Biogen Digital Health has a great culture of collaboration, challenge and team work. Great benefits from Biogen, nice offices, above the market benefits for commuters.

Cons

The company is going through reorganization to diversify its portfolio and build on the current opportunities. That creates uncertainty for some time.

Pros

I love working here. The benefits are great, but the culture is unmatched. The people genuinely exhibit the culture. They have a strong dedication to D E & I and they value transparency. They also demonstrate top-down dedication to work life balance which really contributes to a healthy work environment.

Cons

While there are a lot of development opportunities, there's not always growth opportunities. I worry that their compensation is becoming less competitive over time.
