Pros

Great benefits, fabulous core groups to support research

Cons

I was at Biogen for five years. In the beginning, my department was stocked with scientists who had brilliant ideas, and they had the support they needed to carry those ideas to fruition. I left when the scientific creativity was sacrificed for political agendas.

Pros

Good ceo, great benefits. Great mission of company that the teams easily rally around. Great location to be part of in the Cambridge biotech and technology area.

Cons

IT leadership does not know the industry and is turning IT into a process shop. Lack of innovation and culture of collaboration in IT.
