Ionis Named #6 Best Place to Work in 2025 by San Diego Business Journal!
September 29, 2025

Ionis is proud to announce that we have ranked #6 on the San Diego Business Journal’s 2025 Best Places to Work list in the Large Companies category. This marks our second consecutive year being recognized and our first year breaking into the Top 10. This achievement reflects the dedication of every Ion—in Carlsbad and beyond—who contributes to the exceptional workplace culture that fuels our mission to improve the lives of patients around the world.

The San Diego Business Journal’s evaluation considered both organizational excellence and employee feedback, highlighting companies across industries, including biotech and pharmaceutical companies, in San Diego that lead the way in benefits, wellness initiatives, professional growth opportunities, community engagement and work-life balance. A key component of the recognition was an anonymous employee survey, where San Diego-based Ions shared their perspectives on why Ionis is a truly special place to work.

Earning a spot among the Top 10 Best Places to Work is a wonderful achievement that celebrates our employees and our culture. Our employees’ passion, innovation and teamwork make Ionis not just a great place to work, but a place where groundbreaking ideas take shape, careers accelerate and lives are transformed.
Shannon Devers SVP, Human Resources
