Moderna reviews

Unfortunately, Moderna is not a great place to work for many people. The root cause is top-down arrogance that dominates the organization. Top scientists, directors, and executives have departed at an alarming rate. The loss of quality leaders has left key positions filled by ineffective managers. The turning point occurred around the time veteran CSO Joe Bolen departed to be replaced by the current junior leadership. The company uses a forced ranking system. Front line managers have little say in the process. Negotiation between department heads play out with quid pro quo promotion trading and blocking, reputation sabotage, and a strong bias against non-pHDs. Weak leadership plays favorites and unloads failure on scapegoats. Uneven standards of evaluation lead to promotions that defy logic and demoralize talent. This system results in fighting over projects and accomplishments. Department silos. Passive aggressiveness, finger-pointing, disparaging reputations of peers. This non-collaborative, competitive spirit make Moderna a toxic place to work.

Need much better scientific management
