Pros
If you are experienced in pharma and have good ethical values, you are really needed here and the pay is good.
Cons
Unfortunately, the culture is to think that the "Vertex way" is better. This can often mean that important steps are left out. There are immature people who have been at Vertex a long time and who have moved into leadership positions. The highest leadership seems afraid of saying "no" to them and unaware of how they make fun of them behind their backs (too much Shake Shack). Their behaviors and work decisions have actually hurt the company. But then again, honesty and integrity are not core Vertex behaviors, even at the highest level.
