Pros

Despite a turbulent couple of years, Biogen continues to deliver on its mission to bring innovative and life-changing therapeutics to patients. Throughout my time at the company, this mission has been driving force behind what brings me to work each day. Overall, the company rewards hard work and commitment, and I genuinely enjoy all of my coworkers. They have strong benefits, and great support for employees. I'm very encouraged about the future of the company, even if we're still building towards it

Cons

While I've had great career development opportunities, the criteria for promotion and/or advancement to your next role isn't always clear. While I get the impression that Biogen pays well, negotiating compensation can feel like a one-way street because there is very little transparency about what the expected salary is for roles.

Biogen Response

Thanks for leaving this review. Our mission certainly makes Biogen a special place to work and I'm glad to hear that it has been a driving force in your career here. Like you, I appreciate the support our employees have for each other. Should there be anything more that you want to comment on, don't hesitate to reach out at talentfeedback@biogen.com. I will help in whatever way I can! - Maria, HR
