Great place to work

Pros

The benefits are great. Full medical coverage. Beautiful facilities and very nice people to work with. Management ensures that you're going in the direction you want to go.

Cons

Downsizing is resulting in entire sites to shut down. This leaves many employees with very little choice to relocate for some, or for others, to find themselves on the job market in tough times.

Biogen Idec

Pros

I love working at Biogen Idec: benefits of a large company, but the feel of a small one! They also truly encourage moving within the company rather than losing you to another one.

Cons

I guess one thing I'd have to say is that sometimes there's a lot of re-doing of work if upper-upper management gets involved and they're not overly familiar with the day to day activities. Having said that, they're always open to hearing what the assocaited levels have to say.
