      Scientist Interview

      Oct 19, 2020
      Anonymous employee
      Cambridge, MA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Moderna (Cambridge, MA) in Sep 2020

      Interview

      I applied and heard back from HR in five days after submitting my application requesting a 15 minute phone screen. The HR rep was super nice and knowledgeable. We talked for over a half hour. The talk went so well she asked if I would like to talk to the hiring manager the next day via video call to discuss more of the science aspects of the role. I agreed and next day got to talk with the hiring manager for about a half hour. That interview also went well and the hiring manager asked if I would like to present a seminar to the group. I gladly accepted and waited for confirmation of date and time. There was some delays in scheduling the seminar because of scheduling conflicts on both ends so the seminar was not until 3 weeks later. I presented a 45 minute seminar (virtually) plus 15 mins for Q&A to a large number of team members. I then had about five 1-on-1 meetings with various managers, scientist level, and RA employees. All the interviewers were incredibly nice and thoughtful. Plenty of good scientific questions and general team and work style related questions. I was informed it was down to me and one other candidate. I did have to wait about another 3 weeks after my seminar interview to hear the final verdict, but HR did keep me in the loop during the longer than previously anticipated wait time. Ultimately I was offered the position.

      Question 1

      I was asked a lot of science based questions relevant to my seminar. Also a lot of questions relating to the position I was interviewing for and how I would use my scientific skill set and knowledge to be successful in the role.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Moderna (Cambridge, MA) in Oct 2024

      Interview

      It takes me about 1 month from the initial application to the final decision. My resume was 100% match to the JD. Everything went well, including the HR and HM call, on-site interview, and thank you notes with nice responses from both HR and HM, until a rejection phone call was made by HR suddenly after 1 week after the on-site interview. Very weird experience!

      I interviewed at Moderna

      Interview

      They did not ask for my availability and only offered 1 day/time option for a 3hr interview session. They said if you can't do this 1 day we picked out, then too bad for you.
