“Amount of paid time off is generous and offered for both mothers and fathers alike.”
“Health insurance is very helpful. I wear glasses and the health insurance covered my eye exam.”
Amazing benefits package for employees at all stages of their career.
Best thing is PTO: vacation time, holidays, summer and winter shutdown, and synchronous days off
Benefits overall are great. HR tries to bring you in at a low salary because of the larger amount of RSUs, but they take 3 years to vest, so it's a long time before you see that income.
Strong overall compensation package. Lots of PTO, company time off, but can be difficult to shut down depending on your role. Exceptional paternal leave.
401k and other basic benefits
Health insurance, parental leave and ESPP are great benefits.
Excellent Benefits. Good number of PTO's
Vertex Pharmaceuticals is very generous with time off and benefit package.
Help with student loans and generous commuter benefits
401K, health insurance, espp program, RSU is appropriate industry level. Base salary is a bit lower. Lots of company holiday with 4 weeks of vacation from starting.
