They make you take the Moderna pre-interview survey which feels more like a personality test. Typical interview process meeting with recruiter, then hiring manager and then panel interview team. Moderna schedule changed a few times and hard to get a quick reply from scheduling coordinator. Long drawn out process and then the recruiter ghosts you. Energy from the interview process and that Moderna works you to the bone, sense of toxic environment, and frequent layoffs.
The interview consisted of multiple half hour interviews that were 1:1 with peers, partners, and stakeholders for the role. The meetings were both virtual and on-site. There were no discussions with potential direct reports.

Question 1
What is one example of how you have displayed the Moderna Mindsets in your work?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Moderna (Boston, MA) in Sept 2023
Interview
Initial phone screen with HR…automated scheduling app had errors so I selected a time the HR person was not available, never showed up for the call, then rescheduled. First round with VP level hiring manager was rushed, felt unprofessional.
