The best company ive ever worked for - Research Associate Ionis Pharmaceuticals Employee Review

Ionis is a great place to work and has a workplace environment that encourages innovation and professional development. Most decisions are made in a transparent way. The company and its employees are focused on work that benefits patients and their caregivers. I highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to make a difference for patients.

Company needs a greater sense of urgency to move promising investigational medicines through development and to patients as quickly as possible. There is a lot of focus on doing great science but not enough focus on getting medicines to patients asap.

Extremely smart scientists and leaders, many many veterans that have spent their entire careers there.

Upward mobility is weirdly dependent on your current title. Some title jumps are easier than others, and some promotions require intense review from other departments so be sure not to ruffle feathers. Management has their favorites.
