I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Vertex Pharmaceuticals
Interview
Had a phone screen scheduled. Interviewer forgot about our call. Later rescheduled, but found her to be stilted. Never heard back from follow up email. Did not give me a good impression of the company.

Other Associate Director interview reviews for Vertex Pharmaceuticals
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Vertex Pharmaceuticals in Nov 2025
Interview
Excessively long, complicated, drawn out. I was subjected to numerous interviews over several months, followed by a personality assessment that was required a few days prior to cattle call-like in-person interview series. I went through all of this and then rejected for internal candidate. Waste of time and energy. It was clear during this final round (and not ever discussed beforehand) that the organization is focused on quantity rather than quality.
30 min Hiring manager interview after recruiter screening to assess fit with general questions regarding experience, behavior, and fit. Started with why changing roles, interest in the company to role specific questions
I interviewed at Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Boston, MA)
Interview
Got on the phone with the hiring manager, wasn’t a fit. Got an email stated following up with the recruiter multiple times saying it wasn’t the fit. If I had gone forward I think they said it would be a panel interview but I never made it that far.
