Pros

Great science to advance outcomes for patients Great focus on patients first Great offices in London and Boston Generous pay packages plus bonus

Cons

Your future in Vertex depends highly on the team that you join and the culture within that team. Some teams are no-go areas. Vertex has hired people from many industries and experiences, many of them are there for the money and care little about ethics. Lots of politics, all decisions are taken by higher grades, even basic ones.

Pros

-Compensation -Benefits -Smart and capable co-workers make the day to day easier to navigate

Cons

-Poor leadership (specifically in the Quality organization). - Leadership does not lead by example - It's not unusual to observe a Quality VP or Sr.director taking screenshots of Teams chats (for CYA?). I question the level of trust (in both directions). This behavior creates a toxic environment. - Quality role scope creep- leadership tries to "own" and/or oversee the activities of other departments outside the scope of their QA responsibility which makes execution of processes cumbersome and, in many cases, non-value added and confusion over responsibility ownership.
