Pros

Good benefits, holiday schedule, vacation time

Cons

1. management is not well thought of due to incompetence. 2. managers all want to be VPs even though they cannot manage who they have today. 3. culture is toxic and becoming worse. does not reflect stated values. 4. managers are not truthful, do not communicate. 5. leadership do not make decisions, they drive staff to surface way forward which causes confusion and resentment. 6. arrogance in leadership is rampant, no respect for staff expertise, leads to ineffective use of resources, causing staff to want to leave. 7. this is not just growing pains, there are real problems with current management behaviors. very little trust in leadership and 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.
