Pros

Biogen gives you the stability of a well established company with international background as well as room for self development and creativity. The culturally diverse environment triggers opportunities to find new ways of doing things, motivates colleagues to respect each other and hear everyone´s opinion.

Cons

As every big company, the implementation of new processes/systems means involving a big group of stakeholders and therefore might take longer than in smaller companies that are naturally more flexible.

Pros

Young team and good environment to work on. I believe it is a good place to start career if you learn really fast. You will learn a lot on job if the people can keep up. Responsibilities will ramp up and be attributed in a quick way (good and bad). Funds seem to have no end for projects. No door policy. Improvement ideas always welcomed. Interesting benefits. Company growing fast leads to places opening up. Diversity and inclusion are big in this company, all teams are multinational.

Cons

Location of the site is remote. Messy organization of work and poor training of people leads to a sink or swim situation too quickly. Onboarding is almost non existent. Work life balance is very bad, as too many over hours are expected of many people to fulfil unreasonable goals and has lead to known cases of burnout in less than a year. Lack of resources for the workload. HR is a distant to barely existent partner. Managers are too focused on goals and not on the people they manage. Salary and progression seems unfair through teams and not related to responsibilities. Values the company states seem just for show and with no real connection. Finger pointing is the most common action after issues occur. Departmental competition and blame game is just ridiculous and too often.
