Pros

Hard to find any to be honest

Cons

Be prepared to work very long hours if you are UK Based. 12 hour days are the norm here and anything less will be frowned upon. Be prepared to work on your annual leave too as there will be no one to provide cover if you take time off. There is ZERO worklife balance if you work here.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm concerned to hear about the challenges you’ve described regarding workload and work–life balance in the UK office. Employee wellbeing is a priority for us, and we recognise that long hours and lack of cover during leave are not sustainable. Any additional information you can provide about your situation will be helpful. You can do so confidentially by emailing talentfeedback@biogen.com. - Dennis, HR
