Toxic working culture and poor leadership by senior management - Anonymous employee Moderna Employee Review

Supportive colleagues, innovative projects, competitive benefits, and opportunities for professional growth.

Fast-paced environment can sometimes create high workloads and tight project deadlines.

Good lower level scientists around you

Out of touch leadership with terrible management. Constantly changing goals in the name of “pivoting” and “moving fast” but actually just an incredible amount of waste in terms i of both money and talent. Almost cult like atmosphere. Toe the line and don’t challenge the science too much or you’re out. Easy enough to keep your head down at the sr scientist level but deeply demoralizing to see good scientists above you let go because of their good but unpopular scientific opinions. This is not a science first place And all for what? They say speed and vision will give you innovation but in my experience here it’s exactly the opposite- I was surprised and disappointed by the lack of innovation. Didn’t feel like they were doing anything that other companies weren’t also doing. Commitments to projects were too short term or too shallow or too unstable to actually push the envelope
