Pros

Good pay and benefits package. Nothing else.

Cons

Senior leadership is inept and filled with Biogen "lifers" who have no legitimate experience outside of the company. They lack the vision and skillset to improve anything, while patting themselves on the back and giving each other promotions. Meanwhile, smart people who do the work languish with zero recognition and eventually leave. The rare person who is promoted is done so only out of kissing you know what. It's a perfect recipe to destroy a company, which is exactly what's happening.

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 Equipment and internal systems feel outdated and could benefit from modernization to improve efficiency.
