Benefits | Careers at Sage Therapeutics

We care about our employees, and we’re totally committed to their well-being and happiness. We want our people to do great work and fulfil their career growth aspirations while they’re with us, which is why we offer an extensive and leading benefits package to support them.

Here are highlights of what we offer in the U.S. …

Our programs ensure you have extensive coverage. We have a PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) medical plan to help you with whatever life throws at you and an HRA (Health Reimbursement Arrangement) to fully cover your deductible. Other benefits include everything from dental assistance to vision coverage. After all, there is nothing more important than our health.

We put a big effort into our well-being package at Sage. We live, breathe and truly believe the ideals of health and happiness at work. From fitness reimbursement benefits and competitions, to classes and gym membership discounts and opportunities to meet with a nutritionist - we do as much as we can to support wellness.

We always put people first, and that means putting employees and their families first too. Our incredible parental perks are designed to help our new and working parents balance their careers and family life as best they can. We offer a great parental leave policy for caregivers and grandparents - as well as lots of other benefits, including: free diapers and baby wipes for new parents, breastfeeding support for moms who have to travel with Sage, and access to the suite of Ovia Health applications, which can assist you and/or your partner with family planning and women’s health tracking.

We think it’s important that our people have freedom to take off the time they need, when they need it. We believe this balance is the key to unlocking the very best work from our Sageans, and we’re always working to foster an environment built on a culture of trust and responsibility. So, we have a discretionary time-off policy with no set number of vacation days. We also have a generous paid holiday schedule with 11 holidays throughout the year and a shut down between Christmas and the New Year.

We want everyone who works here to feel as valued and secure as possible at Sage - which is why we’re determined to help our employees out when it comes to managing their personal finances. Just some of the ways we’re doing this is through our regular retirement and financial planning seminars and providing individual time with experienced advisors. We have a 401K Savings Plan that allows employees to contribute to their own pre-tax and Roth retirement funds with matching funds from Sage as well as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) providing an opportunity for employees to purchase our stock at a discount.

At Sage, we’re passionate about helping everybody on their journeys. That’s why we offer generous disability benefits and support within the workplace for those with both short term and long-term disabilities as well as Sage sponsored life insurance with an opportunity to purchase more.

In addition to these, we also have a huge variety of other fantastic benefits - including TaskRabbit cards, technology perks, corporate memberships to local museums, swag, free food & beverage in our cafes and regular happy hours to socialize with colleagues!
