No JOB leveling!

Pros

Great WLB - Depends on Manager and VP - some cases it is great others I have heard to be bad. Unlimited Time off - Need alignment with Manager. Great additional benefits like Benepass - $300 per month to use practically anywhere to help your physical and/or mental health.

Cons

No Job Leveling - after having 6 years of work experience, Bachelors degree and Masters Degree, I am still a Sr. Specialist & some person with just a bachelors degree is also a Sr. Specialist. Very unethical distinction of requirements for a job and it’s level, no movement between teams as pointed out by another reviewer, hiring “dumb” (not joking!) people from outside who have no idea about the processes but are just hired for the sake of managing people - which is what they can’t even do! Growth opportunities are hence limited, one just works in the same role and designation for even 5 years as I have seen without any promotions.

Cons

Fear based leadership, no strategy, late projects, lack of processes. Also constant reorg with people being let go with little information to others.

Pros

exciting place given expansions and future outlook

Cons

worked with a particular VP who was charged with implementing a large-scale transformation. Had an obligation to prove herself and placed a lot of downward pressure. While she brought a lot of energy to the program - she was often rude, passive agressive, agressive-agressive, created stressful working atmosphere, and was preferential and obvious with her preferences

Thanks for sharing - your comments seem directed at a particular leader and are certainly concerning. I would recommend reaching out to your HR Business Partner OR our Moderna SpeakUp Hotline, as the behaviors mentioned are not inline with our Moderna values or mindsets.
