Benefits

Because we believe that our people are our most valuable asset, we offer an array of benefits designed to help make your life in and outside work a little easier.

Balanced Priorities
To help promote work-life balance, we offer three weeks’ vacation to relax and recharge.

The Meaning of Family
We know how important family is. That’s why we offer two weeks’ salary—on top of FMLA benefits and any accrued vacation and sick time—to employees going on maternity or paternity leave or adopting a child.

A Commitment to Wellness
In addition to our comprehensive benefits program (more on that below), we offer an array of valuable seminars that reach beyond work. These can provide financial advice, counseling services, and health and wellness guidance to help keep every area of your life in tip-top shape.

Clean and Green
In support of our employee-sponsored Green Team initiatives, we encourage environmentally conscious commuting by offering free ferry and bus passes. We also support alternative commuting by providing additional incentives and rewards for carpools and clean energy (or low emissions) vehicles.

In Good Company
We believe that a feeling of collegiality makes the workday better for everyone. While we work hard here, united by our passion for fighting cancer, we genuinely enjoy our time together.

More Great Benefits
For eligible employees and their dependents, Dendreon pays 100 percent of employee premiums and a significant portion of dependent premiums for medical, dental, and vision insurance. For our full-time and part-time employees (working at least 24 hours per week or more), this comprehensive benefits package reflects our commitment to the health and well-being of our employees and their families.
