Gets worse each year - Manager Vertex Pharmaceuticals Employee Review

Pros

The only pros are extra vacation days (in which some teams aren't able to even take) and good colleagues.

Cons

Limited flexibility when it comes to working remote, very bad at promoting employees and recognizing when someone has been busting their butt, salary is very sub-par (and since they changed the equity structure that is also below average). Lot of un-needed complexity at Vertex and a poor work life balance. I have found that a lot of my time is spent on non-value add work

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.
