Pros

There are no pros regarding this company.

Cons

I have been interviewed three times at Biogen. They asked me to travel from Rome for a 15 minutes interview each time. Their senior manager are unable to conduct an interview, they didn't know what to ask. They could just saying that I had no previous experience in pharmaceutical, that was more than clear from my cv. Besides they said that they would have reimbursed my travel expense. Have been three months now and I haven't received any reimbursement and no feedback.

Pros

Nothing to say here, free coffee

Cons

Bullying and favoritism is rife within this site. The worst treatment of employees I have ever seen. Constant insecurity, Low salary for Switzerland. Constant threats from management. No communication. Exclusion is the way of the company, blame environment, new ideas are not welcomed here, money focused company, you are expected to do the workload of 3 people at minimum, high staff turnover, no communication, serious corner cutting going on here in the industry of GMP. Chance of death at work is high because employee health & safety is not important.

Pros

Decent salary - could be better. Good benefits package. Nice office in Maidenhead with good on-site coffee shop and restaurant facilities. Some great teams. Plenty of parking.

Cons

Very lean organisation and a lot of team meetings for the sake of having meetings and people loving the sound of their own voices! Often expected to cover other roles with little or no previous experience. I saw a lot of turnover in other departments, especially those who reported into Boston. Became a very snowflake place to work and was always wary of minding my P’s and Q’s and not being able to be myself, for fear of upsetting the snowflakes! They expect you to live and breathe the core values but it is a very woke company! Company cycle meetings were long and the Leadership Team liked the sound of their own voices and there were a lot of fake smiles but a lot of back stabbing going on behind the smiles!
