Pros

- The toughest, most interesting, biological problems (neurodegenerative disease) with huge unmet need - Intelligent and committed Research scientists as colleagues who care about getting the science right, and care about the patients - Freedom to propose new research directions and generate data to support/refute those choices - Celebration at successfully proving targets/methodologies won't work and should be discarded - Large commitment to DE&I (LGBTQIA+, Veterans, Nationality, etc.) - Large commitment to climate advocacy (first among biotech companies in this domain)

Cons

- Current negative public image due to poor decision-making on Adu - Lower than needed % promotion for each cycle leads to attrition - Reduced camaraderie/socialization due to current pandemic

Pros

Diversity and inclusion are great at Biogen as is work life balance. The teams that are in the day to day operations are great and work well together

Cons

Executive leadership has taken a huge hit in the last few years and HR is not in a good spot, Biogen used to be a leader in pay and benefits and now within the competitive market they are not willing to budge and loose good people everyday.
