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.

Pros

Moderna is a dynamic company. It is a place that values new ideas, flexibility, drive, and open communication. If you are looking for a place where you can make a difference for patients, learn the ins and outs of clinical development, and collaborate cross-functionally, all while exercising your Medical Writing muscle, this is the place for you. You work hard and are compensated well for your efforts. The benefits are top of the line. Could not ask for a better experience.

Cons

Moderna is in its growth phase, with lots of big plans and a focused drive. Tight deadlines and a fast pace come with the territory. You must be prepared to pivot and adapt when plans change. This can be a stressor, but it's also exciting!
