Pros

Lots of great opportunities for growth, development, and learning.

Cons

Inconsistencies across multiple site policies and procedures. These can vary widely from factory to factory. Also base pay compensation is below market value

Pros

When they advertise flexible working option, they really mean it! Remuneration package and benefits is pretty decent compared to other big players in this industry and I personally did not see a huge gender pay gap either. Management is transparent about their goals and are mostly open to suggestions. So, not sure what this bad press is all about.

Cons

No flexibility on annual leave schedule. The company forces their employees to use up all annual leave allocation in the current year without giving the option to carry over unused holidays, Although this is a good idea, this may be beneficial to all employees who have different needs. They also do not have option to buy holiday, which would be a reasonable cost saving to the company as well

Pros

As with all companies, Biogen is only as good as the people and I work with some of the most dedicated and capable individuals. There's cohesion within my department, a sense of belonging within the local office, and a collaborative spirit that drives the work forward. The people here truly care about the patients at the other end of the process.

Cons

Recent product setbacks have been disappointing to everyone, but it's still a remarkably good place to be.
