Pros

Biogen was a company that you could tell put patients first then employees because they understood that well taken care of employees would take great care of the clients. They offered great pay, great benefits, flexibility, they assumed good intent, and they were truly friendly and everyone seemed like they wanted to be there.

Cons

After a series of unfortunate circumstances you could tell that the focus shifted from people taking care of people to recovering lost revenue even if it was at the expense of the people. The climate is stifling with lots of micromanagement. There are so many levels of leadership with no one making real decisions. It feels that they are trying to make people so uncomfortable that they leave on their own so that they do not have to have yet another layoff. There were 3 layoffs in under 3 months and leading up to them there were leaders calling other companies trying to sabotage people's transitions if they found out where people were going.

Pros

The benefits package is strong and competitive, which adds a lot of overall value. There are many internal departments and career paths, making it relatively easy to explore new roles and grow within the company. On-site cafeteria is a convenient and appreciated perk. Many colleagues are highly experienced and have been with the company and industry for years, making them great resources for learning and mentorship.

Cons

Promotion policies can be limiting—there seems to be an informal rule that prevents employees from being promoted more than once in a year, even for high performers. Salary could be more competitive compared to market rates. Equipment and internal systems feel outdated and could benefit from modernization to improve efficiency.
