I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Boston, MA) in Apr 2021
Interview
I first had a phone call with HR. After that round, I was set up to chat in a 2nd round, with a phone call with the hiring manager. I was then invited for an interview day via Zoom (COVID times) with 5 employees in the hiring team. The offer was given about 1-2 weeks after final interview.
