Employees say:
"People feel empowered to propose ideas for process improvements. I was part of a project where I saw an opportunity to improve efficiencies. I proposed a solution, got stakeholder buy-in, and worked with the team to implement. I felt empowered and encouraged throughout the process!"
Employees say:
"We truly live our values, at every level in the organization. I have personally seen members of the executive team spend time with employees to give them medical advice for their personal or family situations—to help break down complex medical diagnoses and recommend physicians."
Employees say:
"This is the hardest working group of people collectively that I've had the pleasure of working with. Because of that, the majority of us embody our core values and treat everyone with respect and kindness to get the job done. We're unique in that we are at the forefront of our technology and making decisions on how we do our work that takes into account yield of product, functionality/flow, and safety/environmental concerns. The people at Alnylam are comfortable being uncomfortable and doing things that have never been done before."
Employees say:
"The company makes great effort to ensure everyone has the opportunity to feel supported, recognized, and valued in both professional and home life. For example, The PTA program offers great support to working parents. Just this morning they held a session on peaceful parenting."
Employees say:
"One of the things that makes Alnylam a great place to work is a clear and shared common mission that allows us to ensure we're all rowing in the same direction. Culture is another key factor - Alnylam has a strong focus on nurturing, evolving, and developing company culture as we've grown, with an emphasis in the hiring process of 'culture add' not 'culture fit.'"
Employees say:
"I have heard time and time again from colleagues who have worked at other companies in the biotech sector that Alnylam stands out as one of the best places to work. My manager trusts me to get the job done and readily gives praise for my progress. The executive team regularly holds all-company meetings to let every employee have the chance to understand what's happening, how decisions are being made, and to ask questions. Alnylam employees work hard and play hard, and I am proud to be a part of this company."
Employees say:
"We have a great culture, and we take specific measures to keep it that way. Our open all-company meetings also go a long way in making employees feel connected."
Employees say:
"They really do care about employees here. Some companies talk a big game about work-life balance, family, and personal health coming first, etc., but don't back it up. Such is not an issue at Alnylam—there is real support for all aspects of your life, not just your career, and a true understanding that employees are humans, not machines. Additionally, diversity is not treated as a checkbox that needs to be ticked, so efforts and messaging around such feel authentic, which is very refreshing."
Employees say:
"Having a CEO and chief HR officer who are both female, both mothers, encourages people to bring their whole self to work. Overall, there is never any judgment for taking time off work to care for children or elders, and there are employee resource networks to support parents, people of color, LGBTQ+ colleagues, women, and more."
