Our People and Culture

Our employees, internally referred to as “Adapters,” are passionate about immune medicine, empowered by scientific discipline and fueled by our foresight and curiosity about the adaptive immune system.

As of December 31, 2024, we had 619 full-time employees of which 94 hold medical or doctoral degrees. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement and we have not experienced any work stoppages. We believe relations with our employees are good.

Our talented employees drive our mission and share core values that both stem from, and define, our culture. These core values are threaded throughout the “Adapter lifecycle,” from candidate screening, to rewards and recognition and employee development and promotions, all in an effort to operationalize and reinforce their importance in our organization:

•Make it happen. Individual ownership and accountability keep us moving forward. 

•Innovate fearlessly. Push against boundaries and think boldly to achieve world-changing results. 

•Debate openly. Value discussions inspired by different points of view. 

•Work together. Demonstrate you care about the success of others. The same goes for our partners and customers—together we can achieve more. 

•Follow True North. Show up with integrity and do the right thing. 

•Have fun. Fun makes everything better. 

We believe our employees are highly engaged, and we were recognized consecutively from 2018 to 2022 by the Puget Sound Business Journal as one of Washington State’s Best Places to Work. We were also nationally certified as a Great Place to Work in 2021 and 2022, and we won GeekWire’s Workplace of the Year Award in 2023.

We continually strive to maintain a culture of excellence, empathy and belonging. We believe Adapters can be their best when they can be themselves, and we celebrate what everyone brings to the table.

We also strive to provide compensation, benefits, and incentives that will both attract and retain talented employees. Our total rewards package includes market-competitive base pay, performance-based short-term incentives, health care, retirement benefits, paid time off, family leave, and access to a variety of health and wellness resources. Additionally, we offer employees recurring equity grants to reinforce a sense of “shared ownership, shared success.”
