Pros

- Nice people from a peer perspective - Great mission- it is meaningful to be part of something bigger - Good compensation (aside from 2% annual raise)

Cons

Managers are not leaders here. They "get the job done" but at what cost. Culture is severely lacking and no one seems to take notice.

Pros

Co-workers huddled tight during tough situations, subsidized lunch!

Cons

Managers cherry picked promotions and or raises. Mistletoes were hung over the department to see who would kiss the most behind for advancement. Managers did not know how to perform for the job accepted in fact most in QC were the worst except for a few, you know who you are! Lots of conflict of interest where old supervisors from other companies were allowed to hire their past direct reports into groups with their past reports reporting to them with management knowing! Lots of new lazy analysts being hired and its totally okay with management cause as long as they are apid their 6 figures they don't really care what goes on in their departments as long as metrics are met so their bonuses are secure! There are some managers that need to be placed on pips for poor management style and on high turn over rates, you would think that HR would be concerned with one group losing over 7 people within 1.5years under the same management!!!!! This is a red alert but at BIIB its normal!
