A company that used to have a lot of heart.

Pros

Excellent compensation, great benefits, and wonderful colleagues with diverse backgrounds. Before 2014, culture and values were very important to this company.

Cons

Restroom breaks had to be scheduled in to our workday. Managers and supervisors would hover over us making our jobs very difficult. We were told that we had to shove in as many calls in a day even if that meant our patient's needs were not met. This was in direct contradiction to the 'one call resolution' that the company supposedly felt was important. Morale went down hill as the company became greedier and greedier. They got rid of patient programs that were the reason for the companies success in the first place.

Pros

I guess good parking option in Cambridge.

Cons

a great deal of people have worked at this company ( and only at this company) for a while and think that whatever they do are right and can't be questioned. Biogen calls itself an innovative company? What innovative? If you questions somebody, make sure that you are on your way out. The company wants a bunch of yes-men. There is surely distrust in the management. Backstabbers get their way and HR is completely out of touch.
