Average Salary for Alnylam Employees

Pros: The culture is generally good; people are generally collaborative, transparent, and really care about creating life-saving products. The benefits are also pretty good, if you care more about that than money in your pocket.

Cons: Professional/career development and opportunities, management style, and job satisfaction vary wildly across the company. People are surprisingly averse to data-driven strategy and decision making outside of science, so operations tends to be retroactive and lack resources and appreciation. From what I have observed, there is a fair amount of politicking and no clear, objective way to get promoted or a higher performance rating. You are better off working here for 1-3 years and moving on.

Pros: Autonomy, strong team dynamics, making real change in the world of medicine.

Cons: Growing very fast means it's sometimes hard to keep up with organizational changes.
