Pros

I love being able to work from home most days (2 days avg in office per month). This has changed my work life balance completely. The benefit package is generous, and has literally saved my life. My colleagues are overall really good human beings, and being in the office when I have to be is fun and engaging.

Cons

My specific role can be stressful and demanding at times, as it is patient and field/sales facing, and there are often many competing priorities. I am hourly and phone based, so I am bound by an hourly schedule which lacks flexibility to design my own workday/workflow. Though Biogen is in process with updating our systems, so far my experience has been that our systems are slow, outdated, clunky, and inefficient. At least in Patient Services.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear how our hybrid flexibility, benefits, and supportive colleagues have had a meaningful impact on your work‑life balance and well‑being, and that time in the office feels engaging and collaborative. We also appreciate your honest feedback on the demands of patient‑facing roles, limited flexibility in hourly schedules, and the need for more streamlined systems and workflows within Patient Services. Feedback like this is important as we continue working to improve tools, processes, and the overall employee experience. Any additional feedback you can provide related to your experience is always helpful. You can do so confidentially by emailing talentfeedback@biogen.com. - Maria, HR
