For more than 25 years, XOMA has been a leader in therapeutic antibody innovation, offering a flourishing, vibrant workplace in the heart of the San Francisco Bay area. There are several distinctive features about our company which make XOMA an exciting place to work. First, we promote a culture of collaboration and teamwork. Many employees participate in cross-functional project teams that drive our products and partnerships forward or otherwise work closely with people from different functional areas. This productive team environment affords our employees a wide variety of experiences, responsibilities and opportunities that they may not get in larger organizations.

Our informal atmosphere is coupled with a work ethic that is keenly focused on achieving results. Because of our modest size and can-do attitude, we can get things done faster and often better than many other companies, and still have fun doing it.

We've developed an environment in which each person is capable of making an impact on the company each day they work here and be recognized for a job well done. We firmly believe that each person can and should make a difference to the company's success.

In addition, we foster a creative, dynamic workplace which offers significant opportunities for our employees to grow their skills and advance their careers. This includes challenging work assignments and goals, diverse training opportunities, and a focus on career development.

Finally, open communication throughout the company is another important hallmark of our culture. A variety of events bring XOMA colleagues together for exchanging important company news and information, socializing, and celebrating achievements Venues include lunch with the CEO and updates on XOMA news by other senior managers. Additional events include the Summer Picnic, Annual Employee Shareholder Meeting, XOMA Holiday Party, and activities organized by individual departments.

The XOMA campus is located just off Interstate 80/580 in Berkeley. It's an easy commute from San Francisco and the greater East Bay Area. A shuttle links XOMA with the Bay Area Rapid Transit System (BART) and an express bus whisks employees to downtown San Francisco. We are in close proximity to an eclectic range of social and cultural resources, activities, and experiences including dining, shopping, sports, and academic venues. Berkeley and nearby Emeryville, for example, offer an attractive variety of lunchtime eateries representing diverse cuisine and price levels.
