I gave a 30 minute presentation. This was a full day, one-on-one interview with the hiring manager and team members. Biogen also provided lunch during the interview. Interviews varied, some people asked many questions about my resume, some explained about the work in their groups, while others talked about company culture, company benefits, and some small talk. I left with a great, positive impression of the work and people in the company.

I was contacted by a recruiter in early December then promptly had two interviews; one call with the recruiter and another via Microsoft Teams with two different hiring managers. Before the holidays, I was invited to interview with the entire team at Biogen virtually in early January. This interview was essentially a replacement for a regular on-site interview. The interview consisted of a 45min seminar and then a sequence of ~6 face-to-face interviews with two other people at Biogen. They asked questions pertaining to my research, skills, and work experience. They mostly wanted to know how I operate/function in the lab and how I got along with my former and current lab mates -- basically checking if I could fit into their culture at Biogen. The last few interviews sessions consisted of a current scientist at Biogen talking about their independent research and another giving a virtual lab tour. After everything was said and done, the senior recruiter reached out and told me that they would keep me posted about my application status; it was overwhelmingly positive. After a week, they reached out again about references. Then a week after that, an offer was made. The entire process took about ~2 months.
