Great job you made some of the best people in the industry leave. Many more are quitting because of your big pharma culture. Chuck are you taking out the coffee maker out of the cafeteria.
 








This management team inherited great products and a great sales team. BG 12, ALS Drug, Hemophilia drug were all in place before this team took control. What the current management team is responsible for is: the online booking tool, office cards to Office Max ($600.00 yearly limit. If you go over it comes out of the reps pocket) and reps can no longer wash their cars, oh and don't forget the pods that our neurologist hate. I mean really the online booking tool...... Reps, BRMs, infusion specialist are now spending days sitting at home making airline and hotel reservations to save $20.00 when they should be out trying to sell something. This management team has ran off every talented MS rep. Élan is getting screwed on the deal. The most talented tysabri reps are gone. Biogen is based in Boston so I will use a Boston Celtics analogy. The famous and successful college basketball coach Rick Patino moved from the college ranks to the pros to coach the Boston Celtics. He coached the team just after the Celtics had won all their championships with Larry Bird. Patino was having a tough season. After a rough game that the Celtics lost a reporter said coach Patino "Why are the Celtics losing?". Coach Patino response...... I don't see Larry Bird, Kevin McKale or Robert Parrish walking through those doors. We have bad players.... You can't win with bad players.
 
















Chuck isn't as much of a problem as people think. Could we be better? Sure. But he's not so bad once you get to know him. There are many factors as to why Biogen is the way it is. While yes Chuck is a part of that, he also isn't all bad. He is no BS, doesn't say one thing to your face then do something else. What you see is what you get. If he had people giving him straight no BS feedback he would implement your suggestions. The problem is everyone fears the man and therefore no one is honest. If you think you're going to vent on this website and mysteriously things will change, well, then your an idiot.

So go ahead, go nuts and say I'm drinking the kool aid. I'm not. I'm just realistic and have a better understanding of the internal dynamics of the company more than you do. Biogen is still the company to be at and if it stinks so bad for you, then leave. Just be thankful for what Biogen provides for you and your family. Stop whining and complaining. All of you are so ungrateful. If you were making $230,000 and drove a company issued Land Rover, you would still whine that it isn't the color you wanted.

You clearly are not in sales. Biogen is not even close to what it once was.If not for BG12....what would there be to be happy about?
 




No company is the way it was. Times have changed and the glory days are over for all pharmaceutical companies. Just get over it! The people who are leaving Biogen are for rep to manager positions. Remember that.
 




God forbid - we have to share accounts now and actually work with counterparts in geographies. Oh no, we actually have to be a bit accountable now for doing our jobs. Oh boo hoo, my company car doesn't come with latte dispenser and powder for my diaper rash. This is phenomenal company. If you hate it, leave. Chances are people will not miss you and your grateful-for-nothing attitude. I have new team members now set to come back from training. I feel grateful to work here and work with others who are excited about being here. Haters should grow up, shut up, or friggin leave before your rotten attitude gets you canned anyway.
