      Senior Scientist Interview

      25 Aug 2010
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Diego, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Vertex Pharmaceuticals (San Diego, CA) in Aug 2010

      Interview

      The interview was low key, probably due to the size of the site. People were curious and personable, most were a pleasure to talk with. The site had a good "vibe" and people seemed to enjoy working there. Communication after the interview has been severely lacking, despite offers to answer questions regarding the position/company.

      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Vertex Pharmaceuticals in May 2022

      Interview

      Phone screening. Was asked about my interest in the role and if I had any questions for them. Was not given any salary range but was asked what my expectations are.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      When I asked for the salary range, talent acquisition person said that I'd have to go through the entire interview process to get an offer. This is highly unusual among so many companies I have interviewed with and disrespecting candidates' time. Interview here if you have plenty of time on hand.
