"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."
"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."

"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.'"
"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."
