Pros

Beautiful location and good industry with upside potential.

Cons

Vertex Pharmaceuticals is a very political place to work. The executive management team has their own small clique and their own favorites. Workplace bullying and harassment results in the victim suffering from degenerating health, diminished morale, and poor work performance. Benefits and pay are a slap in the face. The senior management doesn't know how to run the company and the hard working employees are the ones paying the price.

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.
