Chaotic company with indecisive leadership

Pros

Benefits (summer Fridays, health+dental, PTO)

Cons

Utterly disorganized company full of silos. Frequently engineered urgency due to lack of planning and forward thinking. Managers aren't doing any actual managing. Communication is an alien concept to Biogen leadership. When someone leaves (and currently everyone who can, does leave), their work just gets reassigned to someone else. Stingy with pay and promotions.
