Agios Pharmaceuticals Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences. Like many rapidly changing companies – we work hard to scale the way we work as we add people to the team. You’ve pointed out 2 important focus areas for us – making it easier and clearer to get work done (efficiency) and putting our decision making model into practice throughout the company. Our employees are helping us determine how to improve in both of these areas and we will continue to solicit feedback and learn as we grow
