Huge turnovers.
Accounting (Former Employee), Cambridge – January 31, 2013
Pros: excellent pay, ethnic and gay are highly regarded
Cons: horrible commute
While working at Vertex there were items which were not within the company's policy that were brought to the attention of the VP of Accounting but he never would back up his own employees instead he considered his employees easily replaceable and would get rid of them.

Great people, challenging work and a unique culture
Associate Director (Current Employee), Cambridge, MA – September 19, 2012
Pros: 4 weeks vacation to start plus a holiday shut down. great equity access too
Cons: no vacation time carry over. the work can be overwhelming at times.
Vertex is one of those companies I've always hoped I'd have the opportunity to work for. The company has done some really neat stuff (best drug launch of all time, launching 2 drugs in 9 months, etc) and continues to push the envelope. If you're someone who likes a hard day's work, who thinks outside of the box and likes to surround themselves with – more... the best and brightest, Vertex could be the place for you. – less

Review
GPS senior staff (Former Employee), Cambridge – August 6, 2012
Pros: benefits, paid time-off 4 weeks plus end of year time-off.
Cons: great people had left due to a culture of nepotism.
Very high turnover rate in their drug safety. Nepotism is rampant. VP is authoritarian. No life and work balance. "You can't leave until the work is done" Chaotic management and no clear direction in their drug safety. Cramped working space - staff work like sardines!!!! HR conducts interviews of staff due to turnover - don't see these signals as they – more... see only one way pro-management. – less
