Alnylam
"The culture and the people make Alnylam a great place to work," said one employee in their Trust Index鈩� survey. "I honestly don't think I have ever worked somewhere like this where every single person has positive intent, is highly intelligent and supports one another through work and personal situations. It has a real family feel to it and is the main reason I want to stay here for a long time."
It's a sentiment echoed by employees across the organisation, with 84% agreeing that they want to work at Alnylam for a long time, compared to 54% at a typical UK company.
Hatmill
Hatmill's flat structure and teal management style of leadership has created a culture of clarity and high-trust, explains CEO Simon Dixon.

When you haven't got the classic pyramid in terms of your organisational structure, what you get is a level of fluidity which enables members of the team to step in and out of leadership roles when they've got something to add; then step back when they feel they don't."
