Biogen takes on challenging diseases. Most colleagues are great to work with. There is a high level of scientific expertise. Sabbatical benefit (1 month off after 6 yrs of service) is popular. Social outreach, STEM education, and DE&I efforts were visible.

Cons

Extremely cumbersome processes. Currently undergoing restructuring and widespread layoffs at most sites. Corporate strategy not clear as of October, 2023.
