Not much works around here. Zero work life balance.

No resources, no systems, no processes. Unrealistic demands. Egotistical, inexperienced, and bullying management.

Business Outlook

Pros

Fast paced. Good benefits. Very friendly and welcoming.

Cons

The Moderna merch tends to go missing. I've had a Patagonia jacket, a water bottle, and a phone charger disappear. HR really didn't seem interested. It's a good place to work, just keep your things close to you.
