Consider Other Options - Research Associate Vertex Pharmaceuticals Employee Review

Horrible management at the 100 Technology Square location, which is half at the new Seaport location. When you are hired they often do not have clear outlines for what they actually want you to do, or it changes constantly. I came into work multiple times thinking I was doing one thing and then someone else would ask me about a task THEY knew I was supposed to do but I was never informed of. I was hired for a specific task/job, but the management never trusted me to do it on my own even though I had plenty of previous experience. They put all the "important" work on the same 4 people that worked there for years, overloading them--while simultaneously expanding their team and making new members do random unrelated grunt work. It was not intellectually stimulating or challenging work, even if I was busy the entire time. After 6 months I figured out I was not growing as a scientist and my mental health was taking a major hit from the poor environment. I left before 1 year and have no regrets. Best decision I could have made for my career was quitting this company.
