Pros

Great company. Great benefits with 401K match, PTO, Sabbatical, stock options. Great co-workers. Great work environment.

Cons

Too numbers driven. Expect change - a lot. Flexibility is a must. Keep your expectations low. Relationship building with patients is non-existant it doesn't matter that they are the bottom line of BIIB's existance.

Pros

Biogen expects a lot from you but in return they give you a lot. They pay well and they try to maintain a fun and fulfilling environment.

Cons

Depending on what dept you work in, you may experience some "good ol boys club" mentality. I'm hoping that Biogen will flush out those elements so it can continue to be an excellent company to work for.
