Regeneron has been consistently ranked #1 or 2 Top Employer for past 10 years

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) today announced that the company was once again ranked as the top company to work for by Science magazine in its annual Top Employers Survey of the global biotech and pharmaceutical industry. Regeneron has placed either first or second for the past ten years, making it the most highly ranked company of the decade. This year, Regeneron placed first based on more than 7,650 responses from people across the industry and stood out with particularly high marks on measures of innovation, being socially responsible and loyal employees.

"The mindset of 'doing well by doing good' is woven into everything we do including our relentless drive to bring new medicines to patients in need and our commitment to setting the standard for corporate responsibility."
