      Understaffed and underpaid

      Senior manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people! I work with some of the brightest, most collaborative people.

      Cons

      Very understaffed in many groups. This is leading to burnout. To compound the issue, Biogen hasn't been very generous with raises. For example, annual increases seem to be about 2-3 % for solid performance. Promotion raises are 1-3%. Over time, this leads to being under compensated. Most people who have been here a long time are leaving because they are able to get significant salary bumps elsewhere.

      Middle level management of Clinical Programs are ruining the Biogen reputation!

      Senior manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The top management is good. They try to create a biotech culture with work hard and play hard environment. The neuroscience is not easy, but important to patients. The overall pay is decent and the benefits are great.

      Cons

      While some upper management left the company, the middle level got promoted. They don't deserve the promotion! Some of the middle level management of Clinical Programs are just not nice. They lack of people skills and don't care or know how to manage people. They are mean and never want to help others. Biogen will be ruined by those middle level management. They created a silo environment. There is no harmonization. People there are just not happy at all!
