Pros

Decent pay. Benefits are good

Cons

There is almost no recognition for employees who come in early, stay late, try to learn all they can, and don’t cut corners. No upward movement. Completely top heavy and bloated company. Be prepared to be just another faceless cog in a corporate machine.

I am sorry to hear your feedback shared here. Every employee is part of the Moderna growth story - we are bold, relentless, curious and collaborative. We are a people-first organization where culture is key to our success. I am so sorry to hear you don't feel as it you have been treated as a valued member of the team and would like to learn more. Could you email me at april.eldred@modernatx.com so we could speak live? This experience is not what we expect and I would like to learn more quickly. We are moving fast to build our incredible organization - but it should never be at the expense of any team member. I look forward to hearing from you! April

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.
