Pros

Biogen IDEC is working towards bettering the lives of people with debilitating illness rather than just looking for "Me Too" drugs. The compensation is very competitive and the 6% 401k matching is an industry best. Very interested in employee retention and upward mobility.

Cons

Haven't worked in the position long enough to properly evaluate cons for the company. They require me to show up for work if I want to get paid.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Individual therapeutics areas retain small biotech feel. Transparency in corporate goals and objectives and safety in that they want the company to stay independent and be the best it can be. Strong pipeline and future revenue potential.

Cons

Managers who do a good job but treat those under them with disrespect and contempt continue to be rewarded as good managers.
