      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Agios Pharmaceuticals (Cambridge, MA) in Jun 2015

      Interview

      It went pretty well. HR was very professional. People there are very interested in my research and asked some good questions. I had the chance to talk with everyone on the team during the one-on-one session. There was a one hour lunch (salad) time on site with two scientists. Be prepared to ask and answer questions during lunch time. The working enviroment is essentiall transparent since everyroom is constructed with glass.

      Scientist Interview

      Feb 13, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Cambridge, MA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Agios Pharmaceuticals (Cambridge, MA) in Nov 2016

      Interview

      The interview process was very thorough and engaging. I gave a 45 minute presentation with Q&A followed by meeting with individuals in a 1:1 or 2:1 setting for further questioning about the presentation, my experience, and areas of expertise. I very much enjoyed all of the interactions that I had with the interviewers. The questions were thoughtful and fair. It was clear that all of the people that I met enjoyed working there and that there was a common theme of teamwork. They explained that the working environment was very positive, productive, and that forging relationships outside your area of expertise was encouraged. I have been working here for 3 weeks and it is everything that I expected. The teamwork and interaction is exactly what I was looking for, and it is really a great place to work with many opportunities for success and career growth.
