Moderna Tops BioSpace’s 2022 Best Places to Work Ranking in Large Employer Category

Moderna, Inc., (Nasdaq: MRNA) a biotechnology company pioneering messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics and vaccines, today announced it was ranked the number one employer in BioSpace’s 2022 Best Places to Work in Biopharma report.

“We are honored to be recognized by BioSpace for career growth and development, leadership, culture, benefits, and innovation and drug pipeline. This is another recognition our employees’ dedication and relentless pursuit of our mission,” said Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna. “Since our founding, we have been committed to bringing a new class of mRNA medicines to people around the world. Being recognized as a great place to work is meaningful when looking at where we began as a company, and as we grow, we are focused on maintaining the values and mindsets we have had since the beginning.”

Over the past year, Moderna’s COVID-19 response efforts created hundreds of jobs, increasing its employee numbers from 800 in 2019 to more than 2,400 employees as of September 2021. The Company is making several investments to support employees as the organization continues to scale, and recently announced an expansion of the Moderna Technology Center in Norwood, including more than doubling of space to transform the facility from a production and lab space to an industrial technology center.

Additionally, the Company will invest in a new Moderna Science Center, a purpose-built space to support the Company’s next chapter of discovery. Beyond expanding the physical space where employees can innovate, the Company remains committed to upholding its founding values, maintaining an inclusive culture and investing in training and development programs to support employees through another exciting year for Moderna.

Conducted in September 2021, research for the BioSpace ranking included responses from over 2,000 life sciences professionals. Respondents were asked to identify their top three most desirable biopharma companies, segmented by large (defined as more than 1,000 employees) and small (fewer than 1,000 employees) companies. Respondents were also asked to rate the importance of 10 attributes (i.e., benefits, etc.) when thinking of top employers. Career growth and development were rated most highly, followed by leadership and pay. To view the complete lists of 2022 Best Places to Work, click here.
