Biogen Idec Employer Reviews

Huge wealth of knowledge at this company. Many individuals have directly contributed to the success of this company, although a number have left in recent years due to change in culture/atmosphere. Very good benefits/compensation, and work-life balance, depending on your function. Fun extras include weekly social hour, off-site events.

Wonderful company to work for. Great salaries, and benefits.

Biogen Idec is a great company to work for. The culture of excellence spans across the corporation with our focus on patients and maintaining a competitive edge within the biopharmaceutical industry.

Fast paced workload on daily basis, learning curve is straight up. Must be able to absorb and learn new things fairly quickly.

I had the pleasure of working at Biogen Idec as a contractor. The staff was pleasant to work with and if I had inquiries with upper staff or mgmt, it was addressed immediately and with professionalism.

I was just a contractor . A fun place work .i learned a lot about what it goes to to developing MS druges

I loved working at Biogen. The people were great. The company was so focused on the patients instead of profits, costs, etc which was very encouraging. This company has high moral values and integrity.

A Typical day at work is always a learning experience. I have learned in past 4 months is that if you want something to happen with your contract position, you need to make it happen. Management is very busy and generally does a great job touching base. Everyone here is nice and knowledgable. The diversity of Biogen Idec and inclusion is an amazing – more... feat for this company – less

Enjoyed with a variety of business areas within the organization.

As business analyst in Biogen Idec, I participated in some large-scale projects, for example, Implement and Validate UNIX SAS 9.3 as well as the upgrade of the production servers’ hardware for the biostatistics department and R&D IT Clinical LOT Release.

I build reporting capability for CTMS (Clinical Trial Management System).

I Collaborate with consultants – more... and vendors to prepare validation deliverables and execute test scripts, developing and maintaining change control documentation for GXP systems to achieve FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance(Deliverables and Test Scripts includes: Functional Specification, Infrastructure Requirements, Backup and Restore Requirements, Design Specification, System Test Scripts, Backup and Restore Test Scripts, Test Plan, Installation Plan and Qualification, Test Plan UAT Test Scripts , Test Report and SOP).

I collaborate with the Team to prepare for the system go-live and testing and follow up with issues after it go-live.

I am proficient in Unix SAS, Crystal Reports Server, Web SDM, CMdR and East Installation, troubleshooting and Configuration. – less

Passionate company striving to provide top customer service for our customers. Friendly atmosphere. Well maintained work areas. Low call volume, but detailed conversations pertaining to compliance issues and patient care. Lots of training opportunities available at your fingertips. This is a company of change, change for the better.

Management was focused more on having staff give and show them complete personal loyalty. This was placed above actual professionalism and work performance. Dress code was nonprofessional which created a atmosphere that was more like working in a plant or factory. Dressing professionally was actually frowned on by management and co-workers. A extremely – more... competitive atomosphere has been created, one that is not conducive for actually trying to work together to accomplish goals. Management struggled with speaking respectfully to staff and often took a superior approach in meetings, both individually and in groups. Management enjoyed when staff "cowered down" to them and "attended to their personal needs". – less

BIIB is a growing company that offers many incentives and a great work life balanca

I've worked at other large companies that have a mentality of 'you should feel lucky and priviledged to work here' BIIB takes the opposite approach and feels lucky for YOU to be working for THEM! Employees are engaged simply because they care about their jobs, care about doing a good job and care about the safety and lives of our patients. Expectations – more... are high, but employees are treated with the utmost respect and questions and collaboration are always encouraged. Senior managers are always involved and it seems everyone's ego is left at the door each day. – less

This is an employer who truly cares about their employees. They have some of the best benefits in the triangle area. They offer vision, medical and dental.

the only issue I had was with management. If you ever do anything wrong it follows you for the time that you''re there until they need a reason to fire you for it they will use it. Biogen was better when I first came on and then it started to change and I wasn't part of the change. I loved the people working there all except management they are really – more... good at telling bold face lies and then act like they don't know when things happen. Don't get me wrong, Some of the leaders are awesome but I wasn't blessed to have one of them in the end. My supervisor at the time knew how hard I was working to keep my job but none of that mattered. I was just on the break of being a renewed person when the plug was pulled. They have a great culture and values they just are not living up too them fully. I was their opportunity to live up to it and they failed miserably. I just wish I was given another chance. But what goes around surely comes around. – less

It is a lot of fun to work at Biogen Idec. Everyone is very friendly and wanting to help. It is very challenging and fast paced.
