What do you like best about the leadership team?
They are hands on and always available.
Commitment, focus to help you suceed
Leadership follows Biogen elements, inspires and act as great mentors
My direct leadership allows for conversation and rebuttals when something is not clearly thought out.
They listen to feedback and implement changes in a timely matter, which makes a HUGE downstream effect.
Review from HR Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Transparency, honesty and doing the right thing
Transparency of their goals and impact on individual teams.
Can I say everything? Yes
Leadership should encourage open communication and healthy debate. Employees are afraid to speak up as there tend to be consequences for those who disagree with the US SVP. Significant employee turnover.
Review from Marketing Dept
Needs to get better at de-escalating issues to higher management.
Review from Product Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The stock compensation package is good as well as all the small additonal health and wellness benefits.
ESPP, health benefits, employee resources
Vacation, sabbatical, days of personal significance
Everything is above expectation and keeps improving.
Shares vest in 1/3 increments.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
If the company is doing well then so should the employees. (mentally, physically & emotionally)
Biogen set goals not achievable and is constantly changing his mind so setting appropriate goals would help fixing the issue

Everybody is willing to help, willing to learn and willing to teach.
Very intelligent smart people who would like to save the lives of patients through making good decisions at the company
Collaboration and leadership involvement to help the team
Best team players to work with.

All working together for a common goal.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Too many meetings; people afraid to speak up
My coworkers are ok but managers at the same level like to criticise you rather than supporting you
interact with one another more even not on work related topics
Review from Operations Dept

Review from Marketing Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
I liked the lively and natural interactions, not too formal
Transparency of management team at the time. They were clear what the objectives, challenges and expectations of the role were. This allowed me to be better prepared for taking on the job when hired.
when it was over.... :/ I don't like interviewing. Its unnerving for some, especially those with anxiety. SOME questions are unnecessary especially since TRAINING is provided. Those "tell me a time" should not matter about a previous job, unless the business was affected negatively.
Nothing to like actually. What?
includes a panel - not just one person making a decision
Review from Customer Support Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
I would have liked it to take longer and do more research about the company culture. Had I done, i may not had joined
Improve trust and value people
What makes you most happy at work?
Helping patients gain access to care.
Collaboration with my manager and the rest of the team
Me, and also interacting with some of my colleagues.
Leaving. When I finish every day.
knowing my job helps people - what I do actually matters
Review from Customer Support Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Too much turnover, losing good people, non-competitive pay
Leadwrship ay the top and lack of leaders in corp comms.
It would take a major leadership change and years of better behaviors for customers to trust the company again
The US SVP has issues to build a culture of trust and transparency.
Review from Marketing Dept
Changing the mindset of the company
