I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Moderna in Sep 2021
Interview
1) Applied Online
2) asked to fill a candidate assessment form
2) was supposed to meet HR but she never came at the assigned time slot. After I emailed her, we met on the same day (and again she was 5mins late). She told me that she was busy hiring other candidates because of the huge volume of people they are hiring.
3) I was surprised they wanted candidates on-site and no flexibility was given to work remotely.
4) lastly, after few days, I was told they cannot move forward since the hiring manager wants the candidate to be on-site which I knew after reading other reviews that flexibility and remote work is limited and not promoted.

Question 1
what would you do if you need to create a team from scratch
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Moderna (Cambridge, MA) in Oct 2024
Interview
Had to bother the recruiter multiple times to get any sort of answer regarding my candidacy post-HR screen. Once I finally got an interview with the hiring manager, she was a mess and seemed to barely have the time to properly sit down and interview me--the whole chat was very rushed and she seemed extremely busy/pre-occupied with work.

Question 1
How would you deal with pressure from multiple leaders simultaneously asking you to make their ask a priority?
Interview process lasted 2 weeks. HR was very communicative and transparent. Followed up with them as I had another offer from another company and they were quick to move everything up.
