We take tremendous pride in having developed a culture that has its roots in being highly innovative, holding an extremely high scientific bar, providing clear accountability and opportunity to contribute within a fast-paced atmosphere where a strong work ethic is properly balanced with a fun, celebratory and collaborative environment. We strive to provide employees with all of the tools, clarity of direction and ability to make a difference in our goal to discover and develop novel pharmaceuticals that may meet important unmet medical needs of patients.

We view our human resources as our greatest competitive advantage and ensure that all of our employees have challenging goals that inspire and motivate them in concert with ensuring the company’s growth and continued performance standards. We place a premium on teamwork and hold ourselves to very high standards, while also attracting and retaining employees who expect the same excellence of themselves.

Cytokinetics actively promotes social involvement alongside professional engagement by sponsoring employee activities such as weekly happy hours, company barbeques, holiday parties, a great take your child to work day event, and Employee Appreciation Days, all aimed at promoting a sense of community at Cytokinetics. Many of these events are developed and managed by employees who demonstrate a particular passion for an event.

We also believe strongly that civic responsibility is a shared obligation. We frequently give back to our community through various activities and events that provide tangible value to our neighbors. Examples include frequent blood donation, toy and clothing drives, and other charitable events and fundraisers.

We fundamentally believe that our responsibility as a company is to enrich the lives of patients, while also serving our employees and the broader community. It is this collective commitment that we believe makes Cytokinetics a great place to work. We recognize that achieving these goals will no doubt translate into higher shareholder returns and properly deliver value to the satisfaction of all of our stakeholders.

At Cytokinetics, we authentically strive to practice what we preach. Our purpose is clear. Our people make the difference.
