Pros

The company itself is a great place to work and a company you can believe in due to the dedication to the patients. Biogen goes above and beyond to ensure the patients are taken care of. Biogen also has an excellent benefits package and salary.

Cons

Too many org changes, the future vision is not clear and some people in positions of power are miserable to work for and create problems within the team. They are also unapproachable and not above playing favorites for the "in crowd" . While the benefits are great its not a good practice to hear your management say "the pay is too good to leave even if you are not happy with how you are treated".
