Pros

Breakfast every morning. Happy hour every Friday. Yoga every week.

Cons

Very political. Tries to give the impression that employees are free to express their ideas and opinions when actually they are punished for doing so.

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.
