Pros

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.

Cons

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.
