Our vision is to be a major drug company, setting the standard for pharmaceutical research and development productivity in the 21st century. A vision as great as this can only be achieved in an environment where creative and talented people can thrive. Our progress toward that goal reflects the collective efforts of talented employees around the world.
Vertex has developed an integrated team environment where employees set high goals and work together to accomplish them. We provide our employees with tools that enable them to achieve, and we provide opportunities for professional development. We encourage employees' participation in educational seminar series, and our scientists regularly publish their research in peer-reviewed journals. Our extensive collaborations bring our employees together with their colleagues from leading research centers and companies based in Cambridge, MA, San Diego, CA and Oxford, U.K., as well as throughout the world.
We encourage our employees to further their knowledge and skill base, and we support these efforts through trainings and tuition reimbursement. In addition, Vertex is committed to supporting employee health and wellness. Our employee assistance program provides diverse resources on parenting, elder care as well as financial planning and wellness programs.
The Vertex culture is something you experience, add to, share and make your own. Think of it as a dogma-free zone. We believe that’s the best environment in which to contribute to the greater good — of your colleagues, of science and of patients awaiting a cure. In a very real sense, we look at Vertex as being your company as much as it is ours.
We think you’ll find Vertex a great place to work. We provide a comprehensive and competitive benefits program to assist in attracting and retaining people who are committed to our core purpose of innovating to redefine health and transform lives with new medicines. You will receive flexibility and choice, protection for you and your family against catastrophic loss or hardship. We believe in work-life balance (one look at our generous vacation policy makes this clear).
