Pros
The people working at Moderna, regardless of department, are hands down the smartest people I've ever met. Seriously, that place is overflowing with brainpower. And it is ALWAYS cool to know that, in some way, you're positively impacting the lives of others. Whether you're in Finance, HR, or IT, in your own way, you're making it possible to provide valuable theraputics to people across the globe.
Cons
Forget about "work/life balance". It doesn't exist, and it doesn't matter what department you're in. The tricky bit is that everyone in all of these departments is really passionate about the mission, and that's contagious. Before you know it, you're constantly checking your phone for emails at all hours of the day and working on the weekends to keep up with everyone else. If you're naturally inclined to be a workaholic, DO NOT APPLY. The culture is built on workaholics, so there aren't any breaks or mechanisms to help you if you start to spend more time working than you do with your family.
