I saw tremendous growth potential in coming to Antigenics. The company is actually interested in what you’re doing; you have the potential to have a genuine impact, to shine. At a big company, one can work hard and do really great work, but your efforts are always diluted in a large organization. Here, you’re able to shine in many different areas, because you’re exposed to many different areas. If you have the capability you have the opportunity to make an impact in all these areas. You can see the interconnectedness of what you’re doing on a daily basis and how that impacts others around you and the company goals as a whole.

The kind of person who thrives here is one who welcomes challenges. Because you will be challenged. Working at Antigenics is a unique and expansive challenge. Our biochemists and molecular biologists don’t work in isolated task force groups but, rather, interact across several departments. They work with people in manufacturing, quality and regulatory groups, aligning the science to practical realities. It’s an exciting place to be.
