      Pros

      Vertex promotes critical thinking and constantly challenges their employees intellectually. Most employees are driven to find the next cure for the disease. Vertex believes that tackling difficult diseases and taking risks give them the competitive advantage. Vertex also fosters a collaborative atmosphere within its departments and outside academic labs.

      Cons

      As a growing company, it is difficult to avoid bureaucracy. There is room for improvement and ways to make the system more efficient.

      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.
