      Pros

      Great benefits and salary and culture. Does good things for people with MS and Alzheimer's. Lots of training.

      Cons

      Laid off 50 assistants in October 21 as they don't value admins at all.

      Bench work at Biogen

      Associate scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The salaries are among the highest in the industry. The benefits are almost absurd; free parking, free shuttle bus from the North, South and West, medical, dental and even vision plans etc.

      Cons

      Since 2005 there has not been more than a 3 year period without some sort of layoff. Every time there is some sort of management change, the new boys in town feel the need to make their mark. This usually involves layoffs and it is never for financial reasons (the company has more cash than it can think of ways to be spend), it seems to just be to keep people on thei toes.

      Current management is not good

      Associate director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some outstanding people there positioned the company where it is today. Current earnings and drugs coming to market were the result of great foresight from those individuals.

      Cons

      Current management is taking credit for their predecessors but underperforming now. Mismanagement and a reversion to failed practices from the past don't bode well for the long run. They speak a good game but practice taking the money and I bet they will run before the floor drops.
