Terrible place

Pros

Great benefits, amazing co-workers, and promising science.

Cons

No work-life balance. Worked over 12-14 hours a day multiple times with no recognition by senior leadership. Low morale and if you want your voice to be heard, this is not a good place to work for. Favoritism exists in certain departments and leadership. Hardworking and deserving folks don't get promoted often times and lots of politics when it comes to promotions and bonuses. Management won't let you get promoted within the department or move to a different department (actively stopping people from moving to different departments) so once you're stuck here, either you have to deal with it or you just quit.

Pros

Benefits are great and energy during pandemic was incredible as were coworkers.

Cons

Line managers are often from "pre-covid" Moderna and lack managerial skills or awareness of how to operate in commercial environment. Lying about employees and manipulation from certain leaders was concerning. Work you to the bone while they vacation.

Lacks culture and operates in silos

Pros

Opportunity to be seen since its a smaller company

Cons

Leadership and teams are all very new and haven't created a common way of working. Also, leadership mandated in person culture overnight, but did it by measuring badging in and out... to show times and days. Very childish and unprofessional. No trust.
