      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Biogen (Cambridge, MA) in Aug 2016

      Interview

      Interviewed by phone first and a couple weeks later went on-site. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating. I was required to do a 30 minute presentation for the group I would be working with. Everyone asked questions and were very interested about my work.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Describe a situation when things didn't work as you expected them to work and how did you reacted?
      Answer question
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Biogen (Cambridge, MA) in Jan 2021

      Interview

      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.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How do you plan out your day in lab? Did you get along with your PI? When you encounter a problem, how do you go about solving it? What interests you in this position?
