Good total comp but terrible office politics and career progression - Research Scientist Vertex Pharmaceuticals Employee Review

Passionate people working towards a common goal. Excellent leadership from the top down.

Process improvement sometimes for the sake of process improvement. Need to ensure ROI is there before things are overhauled

Good benefits and stability Exciting science and patient centric

There are many problems with leadership. It feels that at this point timelines and KPI is way more important than doing good science. I found it very frustrating to having to deal with leaders who won’t listen or actually don’t understand how bench work works. I spend too much effort making up stuff to fulfill KPI so it looks good on paper than producing high quality results
