Pros
Hires great people who truly care about patients first, the company is scaling to support its successful and transformative pipeline, which provides fantastic career growth opportunities within the company, and compensates well above market median in equity, which has become incredibly valuable. Future outlook is very bright for Vertex, and the people here understand this, and work hard to help us to deliver transformative medicine faster and to more patients.
Cons
We are growing, but sometimes not fast enough, so there are stretches where you might be wearing more hats than your job description might suggest. We embrace the complexities of the markets we enter to better serve our patients, but sometimes taking a simpler approach can save time and money to achieve very similar outcomes.
