      A truly exceptional place to work and grow - Anonymous employee Moderna Employee Review

      Pros

      A lot of biotechs claim to be dynamic, fast-paced, and exciting places to work, but Moderna really takes that to another level. The combination of funding, growth, and progress are truly exceptional, all built on a potentially revolutionary scientific platform. Those that relish the challenge and can deliver in that environment are recognized and can advance rapidly. It's also an amazing story to be part of and to observe from the inside.

      Cons

      The hyper-growth of Moderna created a lot of challenges, especially in the early days of 2013 and 2014. The evolution of the company culture struggled to keep up with that growth, and there was more turnover than was healthy. The culture is in a much better place now, but it can still be a challenging and demanding place to work, and that's not for everyone. Moving so fast on so many programs is exceptionally challenging, and sometimes decision making suffers.

      Thanks for your review! I think you speak for many employees that have joined Moderna for our fast pace and amazing growth. You're right - we aren't for everyone - but we are a great place for motivated, dynamic talent that want to roll up their sleeves and be part of an industry-changing story. Thanks for sharing - April Eldred, Head of 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.
