      Poor management

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay is decent- been shopping around for a new job and realizing pay is standard, bonus % is midrange to slightly low, LTI is good. Benefits are good. Not the best in the industry but they are pretty good.

      Cons

      Depending on the department, management can be very difficult to deal with. Worked in multiple departments- some were pretty good, some were horrible. Went to HR and they couldn’t care less. Filed a case with irrefutable documentation - it was reviewed and completely dismissed.

      Unwilling to listen and change

      Pros

      Great benefits, most (not all) people have a good heart and really care about patients. Great focus on diversity and inclusion.

      Cons

      Can't get out of their own way. There are so many things that are easily fixable if the people who've been there for such a long time would actually listen to the newer people who've brought valuable experience with them. But instead new ideas are met with resistance. Things are disorganized, unclear roles, gaps and overlaps, outdated processes and thinking.

      Pros

      Biogen embraces new employees and nurtures them with a solid platform to be successful in their career. The work culture and work/life balance is amazing. They truly have one of the good benefits package (Please don't just look at the salary alone as a compensation, but look at total compensation with benefit). There is a huge scope for scientific innovation, loads of internal trainings, LinkedIn trainings, cross functional career moves presents one with excellent career development opportunities along with amazing people makes Biogen a best place to work. Biogen also rewards their long standing employees with extra vacation, sabbatical etc.

      Cons

      Salary scale can change with different groups within Biogen even for same titles and compared to market. Recently, HR has done a lot of level adjustments to ensure people are compensated with experience and inline with internal equity. If you are someone looking for fast growth in short span of time, then it is not the place unless you are in right high priority projects. If you are someone who wants to invest time and grow deeper into science/technology development then Biogen is a place for you. Overall, I love working here and it depends on the group, coworkers and manager.
