**employees through programs such as tuition reimbursement, ‘lunch and learn’ sessions, our DevelOPPortunities Program — which offers temporary, part time assignments that provide employees with an opportunity to build new, differentiated skill sets while maintaining their current role — and encouraging internal promotions and cross-functional internal moves when aligned with employee career interest.

Flexibility

Agios’ approach to workplace flexibility is foundational to our culture. We offer all location-agnostic team members (i.e., those who are not based in a lab, not required to work at our headquarters office, or not in the field interacting with healthcare providers) the option to choose where they work — fully remote, fully in the office, or hybrid. By offering our colleagues choice in embracing flexibility, we foster a culture that promotes different work perspectives, work styles, health and wellness, care of families and productivity.

As with every significant people-related decision at Agios, our approach to workplace flexibility is data-driven and informed by employee input and feedback. Our various surveys help us gauge the effectiveness of our approach and tailor it as needed. To date, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

Flexibility and remote work are opening doors to hire the best talent for each role, regardless of physical location. Individuals with different experiences, based in different locations, and with various backgrounds can join Agios and contribute to our mission, while striving for better integration between work and well-being. In 2024, approximately 85% of our new hires chose to work remotely.

Compensation and Benefits

We offer a competitive and balanced compensation and benefits package, including equity for employees with flexibility to select the percentage of restricted stock units versus stock options, discretionary paid time off policy, generous parental and family leave plans, and premium medical benefits. The benefits that have evolved as a direct result of employee feedback include: discretionary time off policy, two week-long company shutdowns per year, expanded parental and family leave, sabbatical program and an inclusive family forming benefit.

Recruitment

Identifying and recruiting top talent is critical to our growing organization. To do so, we leverage internal networks and a variety of external resources such as professional organizations, academic institutions, career sites, job fairs, and industry conferences. We value differences in the talent we recruit to ensure continued growth in new ways of thinking and innovation across teams.
