Pros

A culture of caring. From first day of joining Verastem, leadership has actively sought and listened to advice from outside the company. Verastem has actively worked to develop patient centered programs; and at the same time has a competitive benefits package for employees.

Cons

Every company has challenges. Every challenge and opportunity to improve has been welcomed and where practical addressed and resolved.

Pros

Benefits package, work environment, management. I worked at Verastem in their HR department for almost five years after college. This company truly raised me. As a young professional I felt constantly supported and the professional development provided was amazing. Working directly for HR can be intimidating but this team goes above and beyond to support their employees. I am lucky that I got to be a part of the Verastem family. Keep on keepin on!

Cons

Somewhat difficult to arrive via public transpiration
