Biogen Idec

Pros

I love working at Biogen Idec: benefits of a large company, but the feel of a small one! They also truly encourage moving within the company rather than losing you to another one.

Cons

I guess one thing I'd have to say is that sometimes there's a lot of re-doing of work if upper-upper management gets involved and they're not overly familiar with the day to day activities. Having said that, they're always open to hearing what the assocaited levels have to say.

Pros

Biogen Idec is a great company to work for. Everybody there is eager to help if it is ever needed. The overall experience of working at the company is great.

Cons

There are a lot of contract workers within the company. Some of them end up getting hired permanently they keep a lot of them as contractors and do not allow them the opportunity to come on full time.
