Pros

Pay and benefits are good.

Cons

There is little support from management. The culture is almost non-existent. They expect a lot of work and you are treated like a number. There is almost no work-life balance. You end up devoting all your spare time there.

Thanks for your note. I am really sorry to read this feedback on Glassdoor. Given you are an employee within Moderna, I wouldn't be doing my part as a leader to not offer up some time to learn more - urgently, I would say. Can you shoot me an email at april.eldred@modernatx.com so I can find some time to hear about your current experience? While we are an incredibly busy organization, the concerns you raise should be addressed. I look forward to hearing from you.

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.
