Creative, Fast-Paced, High-Achieving Organization
|
|
Flagship Pioneering is different than any other place I have worked. People here have a genuine curiosity for science, as well as incredibly creative style. I am working with the brightest people in the biotech industry (at all levels!. As a result the work here is challenging and the bar for success is high. You are expected to do a lot. With that, you are also given the freedom and even challenged to find solutions to problems that may not even exist yet.
While there is no set career progression (you are not going to come in, sit in a role for a couple years then automatically be promoted), there is also no limit to what you can do. There is a lot of work to be don here and as a result you are able to develop your career in many paths. I am involved in many projects outside the scope of my job description and continue to develop in these places.
|
There is an incredible distaste for bureaucracy here. Many people at Flagship have left established biotechs/pharmas for this reason. As a result, there aren't defined processes or streamlined systems. This facilitates quick decision-making; however there are times when it is unclear who owns making the decision.

An Excellent Recruiting Experience
|
|
I recently joined one of Flagship Pioneering’s new portfolio companies, a recruiting process that extended over many months. Throughout the process, Flagship remained professional, understanding and most importantly patient. Flagship was invested in making sure that the opportunity was the right match and that the total experience was a positive one, positioning me not only to succeed at the current company but also building a long-term relationship with Flagship.
|
I did not experience any negatives with the recruiting process.

A truly unique opportunity
|
|
Working at Flagship has allowed me to continue thinking creatively about science while transitioning away from academia. Unlike the majority of industry jobs, Flagship encourages uniquely high levels of autonomy and scientific freedom.
|
Most scientists have no training in starting companies, so there is a steep learning curve initially.

Unique combination of science and entrepreneurship
|
|
I started working as an Associate after having completed the Fellowship program. The internship was as I expected a science-based internship to be: it gives you the possibility to branch out from academic life, while remaining deep in creative science. However, the internship does not provide business training. Flagship is a great place for people who have a self-starter mentality, see currently missing therapeutic opportunities in the healthcare sector and want to come up with their own ideas to fill those gaps. But Flagship is perhaps less suited for people who wish to implement other people’s scientific ideas.
Flagship is a very well-known name in the biotech scene. It has been highly prolific in the past 20 years and the high pace of the internship reflects the high level of ambition and productivity. Therefore, don’t expect a 9-5 day, as it can really be quite intense. But the experience and brand name on the resume go a long way and opened many doors for me at other VC and biotech firms.
As an Associate, I have been given the liberty to work on science that I find interesting and I am expected to come up with and implement my own scientific ideas. I don’t think there are many other places that provide such a degree of scientific freedom. In addition, Flagship has a lot of trust in its Associates in running and managing the seed-funded companies, which provides a great hands-on training on various aspects of the company creation process (ideation to IP, recruiting, growing a larger organization, …).
|
Historically, Flagship did not provide much structured training and every Associate got quite different exposure to the operations of the portfolio companies. However, over the last year, Flagship has been taking a lot of efforts to improve this with professional operations staff and training courses.

From Pharma to Biotech...

I joined Flagship in March 2018 from a top 5 pharma. It's exactly the environment I was looking for; Dynamic, Innovative, Fast paced & challenging. This is a place to test yourself against some of the brightest minds in the country, the 'blue' sky has no limits here!

Challenging and Innovative Work Environment
|
|
Flagship Pioneering is a place that fosters your professional growth, your agility as an employee and challenges you to step outside the box. Every day I come to work, I am mentally stimulated by not only the scientific work being done, but by my peers and superiors. What makes this place great is the people! Everyone is so helpful, friendly and care about your overall well-being even outside of the work place.
|
With any fast-growing company there are some growing pains, but nothing out of the ordinary or to be concerned about. As someone who is looking at process design and efficiency, I can say things are looking up and will only get better. They have already improved immensely since I joined and continue to move in the right direction.
