August 10, 2026
2026 San Diego Business Journal Best Places to Work Winner

Ionis has been recognized as one of the San Diego Business Journal's Best Places to Work for the third consecutive year. This year, Ionis ranked #3 in the Large Company category, climbing three spots from #6 in 2025. This continued recognition reflects the dedication of our Ions who help create the collaborative, innovative and purpose-driven culture that advances our mission of improving the lives of people living with serious diseases. 

The San Diego Business Journal's Best Places to Work program recognizes organizations that foster exceptional workplace cultures. The evaluation combines an assessment of organizational practices with confidential employee feedback, recognizing companies that excel in areas such as benefits, wellness, professional development, community involvement and work-life balance. A key component of the recognition is an anonymous employee survey, where San Diego-based Ions shared what makes Ionis a special place to build a career.

“The most meaningful part of this recognition is the feedback from our employees. Their feedback reflects the experience we work hard to create at Ionis and reinforces our belief that breakthrough science starts with extraordinary people.”
Shannon L. Devers EVP & Chief Human Resources Officer
