Pros

I love working here. The benefits are great, but the culture is unmatched. The people genuinely exhibit the culture. They have a strong dedication to D E & I and they value transparency. They also demonstrate top-down dedication to work life balance which really contributes to a healthy work environment.

Cons

While there are a lot of development opportunities, there's not always growth opportunities. I worry that their compensation is becoming less competitive over time.

Pros

I really enjoyed working for Biogen. The culture was so nice before the new CEO came. I learned a lot and have good managers.

Cons

Uncertainty. With the new CEO there are lay offs all the time and sometimes reorganizational changes don't make sense... They seem to be making decisions based on cost instead of vision.
