Pros

Biogen Idec is a pretty laid back company. There is a lot of freedom, and the employees are nice and willing to help each other.

Cons

Not too many downsides that I experienced. Only problem is that the company hasn't been doing too well is the recent past.

Pros

As an intern, everyone is very supportive and helpful in getting you started. I learned a lot at the internship.

Cons

Big company = lots of bureaucracy. Everyone specializes in their own thing, so there is less of an opportunity to do something that spans different specialties
