Pros

good benefits. That's about it.

Cons

- A very "clique" based atmosphere - complete disorganization on the Digital team - New leadership is not strong, teams and orgs frequently shuffled. I've had four managers in the last year. - A tendency to shift projects only to the new people who have come on board the last few months - A disparaging attitude to people who have been with the company more than a year - no ability to meet weekly with managers, or to give annual feedback on manager skill -- so bad ones keep getting lauded or promoted - high level of burnout and frustration: this place will use you up and then not care - Despite growth in headcount, they only hire from the outside. Jobs are frequently not posted internally so they can bring in outside recruits

Pros

The base salaries are competitive.

Cons

-Senior level managers have never managed people before and don’t know how to -Super toxic environment means rapid employee turnover -Senior leadership wants to force mRNA to work across the board- trying to fit a square peg into a round hole -No work life balance. Expectation to be on call at all times -Leadership is notorious for “PIP” ing people out of their roles. Will give them impossible/unreasonable expectations in the PIP to force them out. -High level leaders frequently escorted out/asked to leave, leaving large gaps. -Company is overly involved in personal lives of employees -Minimal Diversity. There are almost no black people in the Cambridge office. -Though they make vaccines, moderna is not a public health company.

Pros

Health benefits, working from home for some employees!

Cons

Many and I hope this time my comments won’t be removed. Amazing how bad reviews get removed from this website. Favoritism at its best, no work life balance, time off means checking emails and working non stop, and there is zero recognition at the end.
