Average interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Boston, MA)

Interview

The HR partner was direct and too the point. That was a pleasant conversation. The hiring manager was difficult to talk with and slightly intimidating. I didn't get a good vibe from them at all.

Difficult interview

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Oxford, England) in Dec 2024

Interview

It was a lengthy process involving multiple rounds of meetings with various stakeholders, including HR, the team lead, the site head, and potential colleagues. I didn't hear back for many weeks even though I was told I would hear back one week.

Application

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Vertex Pharmaceuticals

Interview

Phone screen with HR went well. It was pleasant until the talking with the hiring manager. The hiring manager was a bit full of himself and asked really pointed questions. Our conversation went ok, but I didn't like the haughty vibes. I withdrew my application.
