Pros

• Rallying ideals regarding desire to help people. • Novel technology/unique learning opportunities. • Decent medical, dental, vision, 401k, lifestyle spending account and other benefits. • Cafeteria offering free lunches to FTEs.

Cons

• Ineffective management that does not listen to employee feedback. • C-Suite that fails to anticipate sales and market trends (stock price, publicly available revenue/profit data reflect this; multiple rounds of layoffs have occurred) • Company values are inconsistent with corporate actions. • Middle management impedes effective decision making and makes work needlessly stressful. • Favoritism is rampant and professional development is no longer a priority. • High stress environment; projects are rushed, prone to scope creep and have little direction from management.

Pros

Salary is above industry standard.

Cons

This is by far the most chaotic and dysfunctional organization I have ever been part of, and honestly the worst I've ever heard of. I can't believe how many new employees just hand back their signing bonus and leave. And good for them! The only reason anything gets accomplished in the clinical regulatory space is because the people who really believe in mRNA therapies stick with their therapeutic area and weather the storm of gross incompetence, bullying, and constant running in the wrong direction just because the loudest person in the room is always listened to, and she is never, ever correct. Their recent reorgs saw some of the most talented, experienced, and kind individuals exited by the company. They are thriving in their new positions. This place is NOT worth your sanity, peace, talent, joy, and you ARE going to be bullied and gaslit. All the negative reviews on Glassdoor are on the money. There is no reason to join this organization unless you genuinely have no regard for other employees, are just a ladder climber, and want to make some extra cash and stock options.
