Pros

Nice benefits, flexibility, modern office building

Cons

The place is a white boys and girls club. Don’t waste your time and energy working here if you’re a person of color. You will always be on the outside looking in. Going blonde will help you more in this company than a second degree.

Pros

Great medical benefits for employees. Friendly and knowledgeable staff who do the work. Profitable company who cares about patients. Great potential.

Cons

Management in IT is a complete disaster from the top all the way down. Turn over is high and no one can seem to make a decision about where the organization is going. Everyone but the managers are over worked and unappreciated. Don't count on a promotion and watch out for empty promises. IT is moving towards outsourced resources or high paid contractors while the full time employees worry if they will still have a job.

Pros

Biogen has a very good reputation in the biotech industry and it has been very successful until it started going down the hill since 2015.

Cons

Biogen has had many setbacks and did not make the right strategic decisions to stay at the top. For that reason, many employees were let go, the atmosphere started becoming toxic and many employees quit the company. One of biogen's motto is "caring deeply"; if Biogen truly cares deeply for the patients and for external stakeholders, it is untrue for its own employees.
