Employees say: 
 
“I've had many good employers, but no one can match Horizon's culture and/or benefits. The caring of the management team in places makes it a very caring, generous and positive environment. Everything and everyone is taken into consideration.”

Horizon Therapeutics

Employees say: 
 
“The company truly cares for people, the human aspect is very important. There’s a general sense of belonging and pride in what we do. I really care for my bosses, they do a great job and deserve being where they are. I trust the company and I have a strong sense of job security.”

AbbVie

Employees say: 
 
“The people are simply amazing to work with and the company has cultivated a culture that encourages growth and development outside of each individual's assigned function. It is important to me to have to be able to contribute to the company vision to help the patients with unmet needs, but also have the opportunities to explore scientific research and new skills that would help me grow in my career.”

Genentech

Employees say: 
 
“This company puts our own personal career development as a higher priority than any other place I have worked. I have never done an individual development plan at any other company, never worked at a place that offered gigs and rotations like Vertex does, or had some many opportunities to work on side projects that align with my own interests. Our benefits are also unmatched in my experience, the stock offerings, opportunities for bonuses, health coverage (HSA particularly), and maternity leave as well as commuter benefits are incredibly generous.”

Vertex Pharmaceuticals

Employees say: 
 
“Very people-centric culture - I think it's rare to find a company who cares more about their employees' well-being than Astellas does. I'm proud to work for Astellas and I frequently tell all of my friends and family what a great company it is. Some specific examples include our benefits like the annual financial allowance and volunteer time off and all of our volunteer opportunities and virtual volunteer opportunities. Management also really does care that employees are well-rounded and have good work/life balance. It has especially meant a lot to me this past year to work for such a great company that makes its employees' health and safety be the first priority.”

Astellas US

Employees say: 
 
“I truly believe the mission of Exact Sciences and our vision for the future is amazing and I want to be here long term. I love being part of a company’s whose mission is to help eradicate cancer and the suffering it brings. We have all been touched by cancer in some way in our lives, either personally, through a family member or friend and selling products that help people get tested early with easy screening options or products that help patients know the best treatments for their type of cancer is truly something I am proud to be a part of. I love this company and want to be part of the future and the exciting products coming in the next couple of years.”

Exact Sciences

Employees say: 
 
“The people here are fantastic. The company has an ability to consistently hire amazing people. (Specific example: talk to any one of the people here.) The environment is great too. I take great pride working for this company, admire the leaders and enjoy working with everyone here. This is a place I constantly recommend to friends when they are looking. It is indeed a great place to work.”

Otsuka

Employees say: 
 
“This has been a dream come true. You often hear a lot of company slogans thrown around at workplaces but this is the one place that I have felt they really mean it. You get everything you can want or expect from a job and then some more! What a great team and what great culture the people of this company make it to be! The team is so caring and supportive. Everyone wants to help and wants to improve. Very open to suggestions and change. Very welcoming and inclusive culture. Great work life balance. Understanding leadership!”

Ashfield healthcare

Employees say: 
 
“The culture and energy of the people in Regeneron make it a great place to work. I am proud of our science and ethics. Each employee makes a difference in patients' lives and that is what is truly important. It fuels me to be the best.”

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals

“The company work culture is very inclusive and compassionate. Everyone is very caring and makes new people feel welcome. It's also very easy to move around departments and working groups. They put a great focus on professional development and networking for everyone.”
