Formation Bio Employee Reviews

I started working at Formation Bio in July of 2018. I joined the company as a Clinical Research Coordinator and was allowed to grow and adapt into new roles as the company's business model shifted. I transitioned into working as a Clinical Trial Associate after a couple of years, and now have over a year of experience as a Clinical Project Manager!

I joined Formation Bio almost seven years ago, and what keeps me here is the chance to work cross-functionally, take on new challenges, and keep learning as the business evolves. Leading our accounting team has been incredibly rewarding, as we partner across the organization to bring clarity to the financial side of the business and support thoughtful decision-making.
