Pros

Pay is very good and so are the benefits.

Cons

Work/life balance is non-existent. If it wasn't for the pay and benefits, no one would want to work here. Way too much work and way too much going on but at the end of the day, it's not worth it. Company stock price is going down along with company sentiment.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. I am glad to hear that you find our compensation and benefits package to be strong. However, I am saddened to hear about your experience with work/life balance. We understand that maintaining a healthy balance is crucial for our employees' well-being and overall job satisfaction. If you haven't done so already, I do recommend discussing your work load with your manager to see if any items may be able to come off of your list or be re-prioritized. If you would like to provide any additional feedback as to how we can best support, you can do so confidentially by emailing talentfeedback@biogen.com. Thank you for your honesty and for being a part of Biogen. - Dennis, HR
