Pros

Lots of great benefits; stable company; good opportunity if you're based near Cambridge; not in RTP or San Diego

Cons

Very cut-throat and non-supportive culture; young marketing teams with high turnover; Sales teams are full of good people, but some grandfathered in from elsewhere with lots of baggage and sense of entitlements.

Pros

Biogen IDEC is working towards bettering the lives of people with debilitating illness rather than just looking for "Me Too" drugs. The compensation is very competitive and the 6% 401k matching is an industry best. Very interested in employee retention and upward mobility.

Cons

Haven't worked in the position long enough to properly evaluate cons for the company. They require me to show up for work if I want to get paid.
