The Top Ten
Horizon Therapeutics
Biotechnology
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.”
AbbVie
+1 spotBiotechnology
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.”
Genentech
-1 spotBiotechnology
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.”
Vertex Pharmaceuticals
Biotechnology
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.”
Astellas US
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.”
