Compensation

Compensation is a fundamental part of our total rewards package. We believe in rewarding performance and recognizing the contributions of our employees, both at a company and an individual level. Our compensation structure aligns with our organizational values, encouraging employees to aim high and blaze new trails.

  • Base Salary: Reflects the responsibilities, qualifications, and experience required for the role. Base salaries are reviewed annually, taking into account performance and market trends. Pay equity is also a top priority at Agios. We routinely assess salaries to identify and address any inconsistencies.
  • Variable Compensation: Includes short-term incentives (annual bonuses) and long-term incentives (stock options and restricted stock units) to reward significant contributions and align employee performance with company success.

Our benefit programs are thoughtfully designed to promote the health and well-being of our employees and their families. As a core component of our total rewards program, these offerings align with industry best practices, legislation, and our business goals.
