Pros

Great Place to work if you are not a person of color because the 'rules' dont apply to you

Cons

If you are a person of color be prepared for ongoing micro-aggressions, constant tonal-policing, and lack of movement.

Pros

I can’t think of many. My co workers and the people I work with directly are the only reason I’ve stayed. Working from home is good.

Cons

I’ve been at biogen for five years and have had multiple managers. 9 at the last count — mainly due to people leaving. Biogen doesn’t care about EAs. There is no career discussion or career path here. Go to a smaller company where you can actually make an impact. The EC are ridiculous. A lot of terrible folks who literally YELL at people. People manage UP wonderfully but there are so many people reporting into the EC who are actively trying to leave. Meetings are being scheduled on Sunday nights. I’ve never seen such immature behavior from leadership in my life. Benefits and salary are no longer competitive. There’s no incentives to stay. HR told people that their incentive to stay is because they “love” their job. Get real. Morale is incredibly low and people are working 12 hour days. A real mess.
