Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear that you’ve found value in our benefits, work-life balance, and the meaningful nature of the projects you’ve worked on. I'm sorry to hear that recent organizational changes and career growth have been a challenge. We are actively working on enhancing our career development programs and pathways to ensure that all team members have the opportunity to grow and succeed within the organization. One way that we've already done this is through our Orbit program. Orbits are a 3 to 6-month stint where employees can take on projects in a different role, collaborate closely with a new team, and gain exposure to another position within the company while continuing their existing responsibilities. Any additional feedback that you're willing to provide is always helpful - please don't hesitate to reach out with additional details. You can do so confidentially by emailing talentfeedback@biogen.com. - Maria, HR

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 Equipment and internal systems feel outdated and could benefit from modernization to improve efficiency.
