Thanks for sharing your feedback. While I am not sure when you left Moderna, there is no excuse for any unprofessional behavior. Please reach out so I can learn more about any potential issues that may need to be addressed. My email is april.eldred@modernatx.com. Our HR organization has been transformed over the recent months - as we continue to grow at an unprecedented rate. Our growth also has meant some 'growing pains', as we scale. While no company is perfect, I am confident we have done a good job of promoting a positive culture based on our values of Bold, Relentless, Curious, and Collaborative.

- Cambridge is a great location. - Friendly HR.

Cons

- Questionable laboratory practices to increase data accumulation. - Experiments were conducted by personnel with dubious scientific backgrounds. - Lab personnel were hostile, possibly due to being overworked. - Very high expectations for very little pay.

Toxic and Retaliatory Culture

Pros

unlimited PTO Brand new office space in Cambridge with good amenities some good co-workers benefits and pay are good but they have begun cutting some of the most beloved benefits due to cost saving measures

Cons

There are a couple toxic "leaders" in the HR department. Not only does bad behavior go unchecked, but it's rewarded! As long as you're fake, go along with whatever you're told (no matter the ethics) and throw others under the bus, you'll succeed here. What happens to the employees who give constructive feedback or raise concerns? Their jobs are suddenly "eliminated". Even though shortly after, these roles that were deemed "eliminated", are backfilled with external talent. A true retaliatory culture. If you're one of the favorites of a certain individual, the sky is the limit in terms of career progression. If you are not liked by this individual, they will slowly begin to push you out or eliminate your role altogether. If the culture is this toxic in the HR department, imagine at a company wide level!! Besides this, the business outlook for Moderna is not great. The turnover at the executive level is very concerning.
