      Associate Scientist II Interview

      May 28, 2013
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Cambridge, MA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Biogen (Cambridge, MA)

      Interview

      Submitted my resume and was contacted for a phone interview by a recruiter a few days later. The recruiter was extremely pleasant. After she pre-interviewed me, I had another phone interview with the hiring manager for the position. She mostly wanted to know about my previous experience and how it would relate to the job. I was selected for an on-site interview, where I met with 7 people from the department I would be working with. Almost everyone was very friendly and seemed to want to convince me that Biogen was a nice place to work. One of the people I met with was somewhat hostile towards me and seemed unhappy that she was even there. This person asked me open-ended technical questions (i.e. what are the optimization variables for this process) and seemed frustrated that I wasn't giving her the answers she desired. When I met with the manager for the position, she asked me some standard questions like "What is your biggest weakness?" "Describe a time when you had to problem-solve." Biogen was also very prompt and upfront about when they would be deciding on the position, and I appreciated they e-mailed me to let me know I didn't get it, instead of leaving me hanging.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Biogen (Cambridge, MA) in Jan 2021

      Interview

      I received an email from the recruiter 1 month after I applied for the position on Biogen website. I had a brief phone call with the hiring manager to discuss about the relevant experience and skills that I have. Few questions about my future and visa sponsorship in the future. After 3 weeks I had a panel interview with the team members for 30 minutes each via Teams. The questions were mainly based on my previous experience and aptitude. Two days later I received a positive response from the recruiter.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1) Why do you think if you are a good fit for this job? 2) Any experience with a difficult co-worker? 3) How do you contradict your colleagues when you know they are making a mistake? 4) What is your future goal? 5) How do you feel about switching in between the tasks? 6) What is your understanding about the industry workflow?
