Thank you for your honest feedback. With such rapid growth over the last two years, we’ve at times felt some of the inevitable growing pains as we seek to scale our programs and processes to support a much larger workforce. We know how important open, continuous feedback and mentorship are to professional growth and it’s one of the reasons we launched Quarterly Connects in May 2022.

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.
