      Senior Scientist Interview

      7 Sept 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cambridge, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Cambridge, MA) in Sept 2016

      Interview

      I was interviewed by recruiter who was very professional and easy to talk to. Two weeks later, I received call from the hiring manager who was very rude and impatient. First of all he called me late than the defined time. He was not speaking very clearly and was not willing to listen what I did and how I did. He asked me one question and than before I complete my answer he jumped to some arbitrary question. After that question he said he has no more questions. It was weirdest interview I have ever gave.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Vertex Pharmaceuticals in May 2022

      Interview

      Phone screening. Was asked about my interest in the role and if I had any questions for them. Was not given any salary range but was asked what my expectations are.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      When I asked for the salary range, talent acquisition person said that I'd have to go through the entire interview process to get an offer. This is highly unusual among so many companies I have interviewed with and disrespecting candidates' time. Interview here if you have plenty of time on hand.
