Collaborative Cortex: In Their Own Words

Chris, Scientist "We all pull together when the going gets tough. We’re like the Waltons, a big family with values who want to live up a mountain. Having that feeling of family is important for good communication and a sense of belonging within the company."
Daniele, Scientist "A young cystic fibrosis patient spoke to us around the time of the Great Strides CF Fundraiser. His youthful energy and determined spirit evoked true emotion - this simple interaction between research staff and patient makes what we do at Vertex inspirational and worthwhile."
Tatiana, Accounting "I love coming to work everyday! Vertex offers a creative and positive work environment. When I walk through the door, I feel that I am making a difference in the lives of people around the world."
Michael, Scientist "Two things make me proud to walk through the door everyday: the excitement that goes along with working at a company that is potentially on the verge of explosive growth, and the fact that the company is committed to the development of an internal research pipeline."
Mary, Receptionist "Vertex is very different from any other company that I have worked for in its attitude towards looking after it’s employees. The health benefits are fantastic: private medical care, optical and dental insurance - and as added incentive we receive shares in the Company."
Mike, Legal "Vertex hires so many of the best and brightest that there are enormous intellectual assets available for solving tough problems. The expectations are very high, but with superior personnel and great technology, half the battle is already in hand."
