Q&A With Avanir Pharmaceuticals Employees

We’re a sharp group, fun loving, always curious and interested in trying new things. Our collective expertise is deep and diverse. We’re eclectic, and we enjoy collaborating and sharing our varied perspectives and experiences. Oddly enough, you could describe us as a relaxed, low-key group, but also very focused. We absolutely work hard, but we also take time to laugh. At Headquarters, our dress code is casual. No stuffed shirts here: everyone is on a first-name basis with our leaders. And if that’s not enough, our Human Resources team is working hard to make sure we’re the #1 employer of choice. They’re constantly planning and orchestrating opportunities to learn, get fit and sometimes, just have fun. Think lunch-n-learns, an Avanir Fiesta with a homemade guacamole contest, monthly birthday celebrations, Fitbit team competitions, volunteer opportunities to help local non-profits and more. People say it’s challenging, it’s rewarding, there are lots of opportunities to grow, the benefits are great, and yes, we have fun. But you be the judge of that.
