Pay is Good; Politics is Not - Database Administrator Vertex Pharmaceuticals Employee Review

Friendly coworkers; competent people; flexible

lack of growth plan for new grads

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

-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.
