Pros

Mission is great, pay/benefits are good, reputation is (has been) solid.

Cons

Pipeline and senior leadership vying for which can underperform more; many legacy leaders and stakeholders holding progress and culture hostage; strong kool-aid like denial permeates; no discernible strategy to get out of the whole that's been dug and get to good again.

Pros

Decent salary - could be better. Good benefits package. Nice office in Maidenhead with good on-site coffee shop and restaurant facilities. Some great teams. Plenty of parking.

Cons

Very lean organisation and a lot of team meetings for the sake of having meetings and people loving the sound of their own voices! Often expected to cover other roles with little or no previous experience. I saw a lot of turnover in other departments, especially those who reported into Boston. Became a very snowflake place to work and was always wary of minding my P’s and Q’s and not being able to be myself, for fear of upsetting the snowflakes! They expect you to live and breathe the core values but it is a very woke company! Company cycle meetings were long and the Leadership Team liked the sound of their own voices and there were a lot of fake smiles but a lot of back stabbing going on behind the smiles!

Pros

Friendly environment with inclusive programs and employee support groups.

Cons

Overall lack of understanding of work v. life balance and expectation to prioritize checking boxes rather than completing work correctly. Exaggerated belief that Biogen is still the "it" company.
