Great place - werkgeversreview Researcher bij Biogen

I love being able to work from home most days (2 days avg in office per month). This has changed my work life balance completely. The benefit package is generous, and has literally saved my life. My colleagues are overall really good human beings, and being in the office when I have to be is fun and engaging.

My specific role can be stressful and demanding at times, as it is patient and field/sales facing, and there are often many competing priorities. I am hourly and phone based, so I am bound by an hourly schedule which lacks flexibility to design my own workday/workflow. Though Biogen is in process with updating our systems, so far my experience has been that our systems are slow, outdated, clunky, and inefficient. At least in Patient Services.

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.

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 Equipment and internal systems feel outdated and could benefit from modernization to improve efficiency.
