I applied online. I interviewed at Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Boston, MA) in Jul 2025
Interview
4 rounds: HR screen, Hiring manager interview, Exec Director/VP interview, Final round was a Panel interview (one after the other, not all at once with HR lead, hiring manager plus 3 others). Everyone was very nice, Despite multiple scheduling issues on their end during the process the HR team was very communicative. Would have really enjoyed the role, team, etc. Then nothing - ghosted.
The only way I knew I didn't get the role was because I logged into their Workday system for candidates.

Question 1
Why Vertex Pharmaceuticals ?
How does this industry differ from other industries ?
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Boston, MA) in Nov 2024
Interview
Interview process went pretty smooth. They eventually reached out and asked for references to which I provided. Company then proceeded to reject me: but not because of a bad reference, the job was filled by another. It seems ridiculous that a company would go through that process of collecting references for nothing. It shows a lack of respect for your time along with your colleagues time.
