Compensation & Free Lunch with some incentives.

Cons

You are on your own there and no one cares about how are you doing there.

Moderna Response

I am sorry to hear that your experience at Moderna was not positive. Given the serious concerns raised in your post, and how they stand in stark contrast to our core Values, I urge you to reach out to your prior HR business partner to provide more detail or, should you wish to remain anonymous, to Moderna’s Speak Up hotline.

Pros

A unique experience to work with a newly commercial Company at this point in its history.

Cons

Building out processes to support growth and allow the Company to scale takes time.

Moderna Response

Thanks for your review! Yes, it is such an incredible time in our maturity - with such a fantastic pipeline ahead. With commercialization does come a bit of building and process definition - part of growing Moderna to scale. Thanks for being part of the journey with us.
