Applied online and heard back from HR about 6 months later for the first interview. Then I had a second interview with the Hiring manager. After that, I interviewed with a department head I would work with, and also had an evaluation test. The interviews were nice, and I enjoyed them, looking forward to the next steps. But, they never got back to me with a decision. It was pretty disturbing to be ghosted after so many rounds. Maybe I dodged a bullet though, if they can't even give a one-sentence decision, what happens when you're really in trouble and need good communication?

The interview process really focused on the Moderna Mindsets. It kicked off with a call from the HR recruiter, then I had a 45-minute chat with the hiring manager. The final step was a panel interview with about 4-5 people. The HR recruiter got back to me pretty quickly after the panel interviews. I heard from someone that my experience was similar to what they saw on Glassdoor – Moderna seems to be interviewing for jobs that aren't even approved yet. They told me we were moving forward to an offer and asked for my compensation details. But then, after a month of 'internal approvals,' the HR recruiter suddenly told me they weren't hiring for the position after all. Honestly, I feel like it was a total waste of everyone's time and really unprofessional.

The interview process went really well. The recruiters were always available to answer any questions I had. They were also very helpful in making my relocation process as smooth and easy as possible, assisting me with moving from one state to another.
