Pros

It's in a great location in Cambridge.

Cons

The culture of the company is very dysfunctional and, frankly, frightening. A lot of people have been fired which management backs up using questionable, if not blatantly false, information. People are leaving the company faster than they can hire new people. So, between the firings and resignations, there's a lot of gossip and badmouthing going on within the company and an overall atmosphere of hostility and fear. Management takes advantage of employees by overworking them and then excluding them from getting proper recognition and credit---if anything, management actually punishes productive people by taking things away from them. It is common practice for the management team to position employees against each other in what appear to be bizarre mind games.

Pros

snacks and soda are provided

Cons

Moderna has unrealistic expectations of time commitment for all employees. The workloads are outrageous and extremely high turnover puts more stress on already strung out employees who remain. Bad science practices, blame and finger pointing abound and poor management and lack of planning send reverberations throughout the entire company on a daily basis.

Pros

Benefits Career Resources Experience from the four other jobs you're doing without pay or recognition

Cons

Management blames someone below them for any mistake, no matter how small, and takes credit for everyone else's ideas. Hires people from unrelated industries and then touts how their ideas are so much better Retaliatory, hostile work environment with inexperienced supervisors
