Pros
Lots of excitement for potential new therapy Alzheimer’s Disease. Smart colleagues. Rich neuroscience pipeline. Decent compensation, although 2% annual salary increases do not keep up with the high cost of living in the Boston area.
Kontras
Annual company “confidential” survey is a farce. One of the survey questions asks if you fear retaliation from your manager for your answers on the survey...speaks volumes about serious problems with your corporate culture and the quality and ethics of your leaders and managers. Survey results rarely lead to substantive changes that make employees lives easier and reduce bureaucracy to get work done. HR is completely ineffective and add to the toxicity of the culture. Lack of confidentiality and transparency are routine. Favoritism not expertise and results are the ticket to advancement. Senior Executive team lacks cohesion and a shared vision for Biogen. They do not act as a high functioning team because are so busy protecting themselves from the wrath of the CEO. The Company Quarterly Meetings are awkward. They feel forced and inauthentic.
