We are Committed
Since 1995, we have remained focused on our mission to discover breakthrough treatments for human disease. We routinely set ambitious, but achievable goals that require dedicated individuals working with a common vision. We are now witnessing the fruits of our collective labor as we have multiple programs in human clinical trials.
We are Collaborative
Lexicon has a collaborative and innovative work environment filled with passionate and talented individuals who are dedicated to the company’s mission. Our work environment is interactive and highly professional. Our discovery biologists work directly with our chemists and antibody developers through project working groups and other venues to advance our drug discovery and development programs. Each week, we meet as a company to enjoy a catered lunch and a presentation by one of our scientists, executives or other employees. This keeps everyone up-to-date on recent discoveries and business developments, and often highlights the specific contributions of individual work groups across the company.
We are Diverse
Lexicon values a diverse workforce and proudly reflects a company culture developed with a variety of ethnic backgrounds, nationalities, races, and religions. We are committed to promoting and maintaining an inclusive, high-performing culture where all team members embrace and leverage each others’ talents and backgrounds, nourish innovative thinking, achieve their full potential and contribute to Lexicon’s success.
We are Creative
We embrace individual and group creativity at Lexicon. We routinely recognize and reward individual and team contributions to innovations that result in significant, measurable improvements to Lexicon’s scientific, business or administrative processes. The Lexicon Innovation Award is presented to individuals as recognition for innovations that are a result of effort and creativity that exceed the normal expectations of an employee's position. The award comes with a cash bonus.
We Have Fun
We work hard but take time to celebrate our successes. Once a month, we celebrate recent scientific or business accomplishments with music, food, and beverages. This gives everyone a chance to socialize with co-workers and meet new colleagues. These celebrations are often accompanied by special events such as employee painting sessions, games, and other activities. Additionally, each year we hold a company-wide departmental poster contest, pumpkin carving contest, and Halloween costume contest. Winners of these contests are often awarded cash prizes, recreational team outings, or team meals at local restaurants.
