Pros

Working here has been one of the most rewarding professional experiences of my career. The company’s commitment to ethical science and patient-first decision-making is not just a slogan—it's reflected in everyday actions, from transparent leadership communication to responsible R&D practices. They were the first to bring plain language summaries to patients! The culture is genuinely collaborative and supportive. I’m surrounded by brilliant, thoughtful colleagues who are not only technically impressive but also generous with their knowledge and time. Cross-functional teamwork is key to our success, and ideas are valued no matter your position. The salary structure is competitive and transparent, bonuses and equity opportunities are meaningful, and the benefits package is stellar—strong healthcare options, robust retirement programs, flexible work arrangements, and wellness resources that actually get used. Leadership is engaged, approachable, and grounded in integrity. They make it clear that doing the right thing for both patients and employees is more important than cutting corners or chasing short-term wins. They are always innovating! Overall, this is an exceptional place to build a career if you value scientific excellence, ethical standards, and a culture that supports both personal and professional growth. I feel proud to contribute to the work being done here every day. I couldn’t be happier and more grateful that this is my reality. If you also want to be part of a mission that truly matters, look at open positions to see if there’s a fit for you.

Cons

High expectations and a fast pace, but manageable with the support provided.

Good place to work

Pros

Good office environment with beautiful views. Free lunch every day, unlimited drinks and snacks. French company so people here have better style than average. 401K match is good, pay is on par with other pharmas in the area.

Cons

Office is mostly open seating so sometimes if you snooze, you can't find seats, meeting room is the same situation. No remote work possible unless you have a field-based role, must come to office 3 times a week.
