Pros

* Unlike other companies who are starting to pressure employees to return to office, management is continuing to trust employees and keeping remote work * Nice benefits for our physical and mental health, including $800 reimbursement for weight loss / exercise expenses, Hinge Health exercise subscription, free mental health consultation, one free audiobook per month * Receptive to workflow improvement * Flat organization structure, superiors are easily reachable * Great colleagues * Encourage diversity and inclusion

Cons

* Change can be confusing * Has large layoff in 2023 which resulted in some non business critical projects being abandoned with no responsible person to follow up

As a former employee, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear you found value in our 401k plan and health insurance offerings—providing strong benefits is a priority for us. We also appreciate your comments about the cafeteria. While we aim to offer a variety of food options to meet diverse tastes and dietary needs, we recognize there’s always room for improvement. Your input helps us identify areas where we can enhance the overall employee experience. Thanks for your time at Biogen and best of luck with your next endeavor. - Maria, HR
