      Pros

      Biogen Idec is a great company to work for. Everybody there is eager to help if it is ever needed. The overall experience of working at the company is great.

      Cons

      There are a lot of contract workers within the company. Some of them end up getting hired permanently they keep a lot of them as contractors and do not allow them the opportunity to come on full time.

      Intense culture, results-oriented, but too many employees are underhanded

      Pros

      - Good reputation - Work with smart people - Pay and benefits are good - Some areas of the company are VERY productive and "best in class"

      Cons

      - Bully managers are tolerated and sometime encouraged by upper management and HR, despite complaints and notorious, chronic issues with the same people - Turnover is high under the same managers and the company does nothing to get rid of them.

      Pros

      Employees are generally driven, fun and all focused on a common goal. Work is fun and challenging.

      Cons

      Zero vision from leadership in company. Changes made quickly and then detracted, causes the rest of the company to wonder if they are flipping coins based on latest financials.
