      Pros

      Moderna can be an exciting company to work for - with one of the most robust pipelines in the industry, there are never any dull moments. - The benefits are outstanding (could go a little higher on 401k, but still good) - Compensation and equity are strong - There is a lot of opportunity to grow and learn - Fast-paced environment - A lot of genuinely hard-working people - Company has a strong financial outlook and focuses consistently on R&D - I believe they have a good future ahead of them

      Cons

      Overall, my experience has been pretty good, but a few cons to watch out for: - The workload can be heavy - this is not a place to work if you are looking for strong work/life balance. - The culture can be intense and if you don't have a really good relationship with your boss, it's difficult place to work. It feels like a lot of fear-based leadership, from the top down. - A lot of managers are new managers, and many don't have training in how to manage people. There aren't currently formal ways to provide feedback in a safe way about managers either. - There is a strong focus on learning, but not necessarily clear career growth paths. It would be great to see the focus shift so that it's more tangible for how your career can grow both in and outside of Moderna.

      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.
