Pros

The stock was pumped up nicely

Cons

Culture is non-existence! Mid-level manager was from academic lab and knows little of industries. Most programs are useless. Leaders like to hear gossips when considering promotions. Good suggestions were shrugged off and creates a very hostile environment that needs to be addressed.

Thanks for sharing your concerns. I am sorry to hear your experience with your direct manager wasn't great. I certainly hope you felt inclined to raise your concerns with your HR partner before you left Moderna. Our company culture is pretty special - and if a leader isn't fostering our great culture, we always want to know. We take ANY feedback around a 'hostile' work environment very seriously. Please do reach out to me at april.eldred@modernatx.com so I can learn more.

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.
