Biogen reviews

Biogen used to be focused on helping patients, but ever since Chris Viehbacher took over the focus is all on money. We've started a "Fit for Growth" program that seems focused on making investors happy at the expense of patients and employees, and looking at our stock price right now we can't even do that. Communication is mostly ominous these days and gives me almost no faith that this place is going to be somewhere that people want to work moving forward, assuming the manufacturing plant isn't spun off or sold entirely.

The company is a sinking ship and doesn't have a solid strategy for its long-term survival. They have trashed goodwill amongst employees by continuing to let the incompetent top tier management steer the ship. The mood in US corporate operations has turned panicked and ugly. Everyone who's smart has already either headed for the lifeboats or is trying to find one to get on. The rest better hope there's a large floating door to get on when the ship goes down. (But don't expect Rose to move over so you can get on it, too.) There should be a shareholder revolt to replace most of the BOD, the CEO and his direct reporting managers. They were fine when they had MS blockbusters filling their pockets but they haven't got a clue what to do now to save the company. They are hoping this deal with Sage will help them hang on until they can fix the other problems and get something else to market. It won't. Unimpressive drug and the typical power struggle that happens with "joint" marketing is likely. Just read what the financial analysts are saying. We have seen this movie before.
