Pros

- Moderna is a great, exciting company - free lunch/phone - cutting edge science - fun extra curricular events/ sports teams

Cons

- HUGE gap between management and lab personnel which results in a rift of understanding between what’s necessary to be done and frivolous tasks. (Lab maintenance, correct order of tasks, Etc) - Very poor planning at the upper levels of management, which results in mid level managers being inundated with work to the point they are overwhelmed, which results in lower level employees suffering while watching upper management go out for “coffee” ~ 5 times a day - Too many layers to management with not enough visibility - HR only seems to be there to protect managers/corporate - Progression happens only if you’re of a select few, otherwise you are made to believe you aren’t upholding expectations/ pulling your fair share - Managers never come in lab and thus, have no exposure to employees actually working, and make assumptions on your work ethic based on what they hear/observe in 2 minutes of exposure. - Say you never have to stay late, yet you’re viewed as lazy and not dedicated to the company if you don’t stay late constantly. - Poor training and project management
