When trying to run Rocket.Chat on CentOS with the following command:

systemctl start rocketchat.service

getting the following error:

Failed to start rocketchat.service: Unit is not loaded properly: Bad message.
See system logs and systemctl status rocketchat.service for details.

and when I run the command systemctl status rocketchat.service I get:

 Loaded: error (Reason: Bad message)
   Active: inactive (dead)

Where is the problem?

Failed to add dependency on mongod.target[Service]

I had a similar issue in a different service. The problem is with you systemctl config file. You do not have a line break before [Service] element which shall actually start a new section and not be a part of After element.

So open you rocketchat.service file (which is probably in /usr/lib/systemd/system) and check that [Service] element starts on a new line (check other .service files in that dir for example of correct format). It shall look something like

....
After=mongod.target

[Service]
....
