What I liked

Really supportive science-focused culture. Vertex invests in training and gives access to top-notch equipment. Managers care about growth and work-life balance. Strong benefits and meaningful, patient-first projects.

Areas for improvement

Can be heavy on documentation and compliance which slows some projects. Near big milestones there are long hours, and internal approvals can be bureaucratic.

What I liked

Flexible remote policy, good stock and bonus structure, smart teammates and fun hack days. Vertex invests in modern tooling and gives engineers space to propose improvements.

Areas for improvement

Decision-making can be slow between functions and there are some legacy systems that need attention. Promotion cycles are a bit conservative compared to startups.
