Pros

Great science and pipeline. CEO and senior executives are inspiring and motivating. Products target disease settings with high unmet needs.

Cons

Medical Affairs organization has rampant sexual relations occurring. Retaliation occurs when one rejects sexual advances. Preferential treatment occurs if one agrees to sexual advances. Completely inappropriate and sexually charged workplace environment.

There is nothing more important to us than a respectful work environment. We create and reinforce this environment through training, modeling good behavior across all levels of the organization, organizational health checks and ongoing performance evaluation. When comments like this are brought to our attention, we take them very seriously, and have a strict non-retaliation policy. If you experience a work environment that is not in alignment with our organizational values, policies and Code of Business Conduct & Ethics, we expect and ask you to reach out to a member of the Human Resources team and we can respond accordingly. I would ask you to please contact me directly as soon as possible.

Immature team environment

Pros

CEO is truly inspiring and he recognises that employees are the most important assets to the company. I love the supply of fruits, yogurt, snacks and occasional ice cream fairies. The company is full of young adults and fun. Fast paced and if you know what you are doing and love working hard, you can contribute a lot to the program.

Cons

Many inexperienced employees are in director and above positions as they joined in early days of the company. They do not take a counsel from people who are more experienced. Watch out for colleagues backstabbing, gossips and office politics to keep you out from the data that you need to work efficiently. It is hard to build a strong team with this culture.

We are glad to hear that you are enjoying the pace at Agios. We are working hard and investing in further team and leadership development. In addition, a large focus as we scale has been implementing competency based interviewing, assessing talent from both a technical and behavioral / cultural perspective. As we continue to advance this work, we would love to integrate your perspective and specific feedback. We are committed to learning as a company and we are constantly striving to improve and grow – if you would like to discuss this, we encourage you to reach out to me directly. Thank you. - SVP, HR

Thank you for sharing your perspective. The culture at Agios is something we pride ourselves on and invest in to help make Agios the most inclusive, collaborative, and patient focused place it can be. While the HR team has a big role to play in supporting the culture and attracting and developing our employees, the culture belongs to everyone and is everyone’s responsibility. We are also committed to being a learning organization and feedback is an important part of learning. If you would like to discuss this further, I would encourage you to reach out to me directly. Thank you
