Pros

Great/low cost benefits - namely health insurance Pay is generally competitive, average in this market Exciting work, company has great potential Some groups are genuinely great to work with

Cons

Zero boundaries Work/life balance is constantly discussed and emphasized but quickly surpassed by the new project or priority of the week High performers end up picking up the slack of poor quality and/or remote new hires Roles are often backfilled by candidates lacking the experience or skills needed to succeed Some areas of the organization are plagued with ineffective people managers Human Resources is utterly incompetent when it comes to the basics

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am sorry to hear that your experience was not as positive towards the end. Few things are more important to our leadership as ensuring we retain a strong, supportive culture. With such rapid growth, we regularly seek out feedback from our employees and implement innovative enhancements to our programs. We’ve launched quite a few new initiatives this year with several more planned for the second half of 2022. We appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best in your journey. Thank you! April Eldred, VP-Talent Acquisition

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.
