      Used to be a great company to work for but leadership has lost its way.

      Pros

      Good benefits and deep rooted culture and structure for someone eager to learn from cross-functional colleagues.

      Cons

      Leadership and organization change constantly. Difficult to make long term strategic plans in R&D. Leadership is also short-sighted with respect to pipeline building and long-term value addition.

      Pros

      The culture is wonderful. this is the best culture I've been a part of.

      Cons

      the company is currently going through some changes that have been long and drawn out causing uneasiness in the workforce. I'm concerned that the culture will be, if not already affected by the changes that have been made and those that still yet to be made.

      Overall, Great Company and A Very Inclusive Community

      Pros

      My favorite reason for working here is 100% the people. Everyone is extremely open to helping, answering questions, and teaching you how to do things as you go. Lots of independence each day as far as what you want to do, in what order, etc.; management is fairly hands-off unless something needs a quick turnaround. It is also great to work alongside a diverse group of individuals who are very skilled at their jobs and who you can rely on, especially when business need is high. PTO: 16 days starting out (pro-rated for first year), 5 personal days, 80 hours of sick time Benefits: Great vision insurance, medical, dental, etc. Pay: Raise each year (based on performance), LTI Stock each year as well.

      Cons

      My least favorite part of working at Biogen is how onboarding is handled. At least for when I was hired in 2022, the onboarding process for my actual position was very minimal and was very much left up to me to reach out and decide what I needed to train on. This isn't a huge drawback as once you get into the swing of things, that problem goes away, but it is VERY common for new hires to not really be given any specifics on what they will train on, what management expects from them, etc. I've heard that a new process is being developed so this may be addressed by that as well.
