A Great Opportunity

Pros

I've worked at Moderna for about two and a half years now. Moderna brings a challenging, fast paced, and exciting environment. Everyone that I've come in contact with here is genuinely friendly, and helpful. Every accomplishment that is made here is truly a team effort, and I can honestly say management does a great job of recognizing hard work and rewarding it. To watch the development of this technology has truly special. It's extraordinary and the potential for this is inconceivable.

Cons

Moderna currently has three sites, and a couple of times I've noticed communication between groups in different building could use some improvement. There have been instances where groups come together and realize that they have been working on a similar project and that they do have useful information they can share with each other. Moderna does have weekly R&D meetings to give each group a chance to show off their work, however it can be three or so months in between presentations.

The Company is a Mess

Pros

The only Pro this company has is the vacation time away from the company. 2 weeks off for winter, on top of your vacation time already. They celebrate almost every holiday.

Cons

Believe all of the negative reviews you see about this company because they are absolutely true. I highly advise that people stay away from this company (especially scientists). There is no such thing as team work and upper management is a mess. Executives are highly focused on themselves. They call Moderna a "family" but its fake. They work their employees 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and their turnover rate is extremely high. You see about 25+ employees start at the beginning of the month and by the end, half have been fired and/or quit. Its not even worth getting to know some of the new hires because you know they will be gone sooner rather than later. The company seems exciting to work for in the beginning until you realize how much you do for the company and how little they appreciate it. Employees work all of the time, and there is no reward for your efforts. There is hardly any growth within the company and there are no boundaries. Employee's are greedy, rude, and focus on themselves. There is no real teamwork which is sad to see. Don't ever think that HR is there to support you, they don't enforce any rules...for anyone. They are just there to pretend like they know what they are doing. Its a rat race over there and you will not get far. You will end up leaving wondering why you even wanted to work there in the first place. There is no morale, no protocols and no respect for anyoone.

Cons

if you are talented and and enjoy spending hours when your work is calling you, this is the place to be and you'll be rewarded!. If you're an OK person or don't want to try hard, just forget it.
