Pros

- Good base salary and good differential - Decent incentives for all shifts expect third (lunches, events, food trucks) - Teams usually become very tight-knit and the type of work facilitates bonding.

Cons

- More likely to have a bad supervisor than a good one - Senior management is not experienced in running large scale MFG or creating a production schedule that reflects current equipment capabilities, material inventory, or available staff. -Training is all over the place. Sometimes really great and sometimes really horrible. -Communication between shifts, teams, and management is poor. -Different shifts usually try to get one another in trouble for things rather than working together to figure out solutions. -3rd shift gets shafted when it comes to lunch and other Moderna incentives. -Required trainings are often not provided during all shift hours. - A lot of young inexperienced employees = High school clique style culture

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.
