Pros

I've worked at Moderna for about two and a half years now. Moderna brings a challenging, fast paced, and exciting environment. Everyone that I've come in contact with here is genuinely friendly, and helpful. Every accomplishment that is made here is truly a team effort, and I can honestly say management does a great job of recognizing hard work and rewarding it. To watch the development of this technology has truly special. It's extraordinary and the potential for this is inconceivable.

Cons

Moderna currently has three sites, and a couple of times I've noticed communication between groups in different building could use some improvement. There have been instances where groups come together and realize that they have been working on a similar project and that they do have useful information they can share with each other. Moderna does have weekly R&D meetings to give each group a chance to show off their work, however it can be three or so months in between presentations.

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.
