I applied online. I interviewed at Biogen (Cambridge, MA)
Interview
The recruiter was nice and personable, and very professional.
The panel interview was 4 hours, and Biogen typically interviews based on their 4 core values (the only one I can recall is agility) so the questions I got asked were almost identical to those I was asked when I interviewed for another position earlier this year. The interview itself honestly felt like they ran out of coffee in the office that day. The team was very disengaged. Some of the more junior folks could definitely yse some training on what not to ask during interviews..
The hiring manager said he would get back to me about some answers he did not know about the position (which was strange in and of itself), but never did.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Biogen in May 2026
Interview
Talent Acquisition reached out after I applied with a referral. We had a couple of chats but it turned out that the hiring manager wanted specific hands-on experience. I did not get a chance to have a call with the hiring manager.
I applied online. I interviewed at Biogen (Durham, NC) in Jan 2022
Interview
Attended first interview with HR personnel. Interview went well and was asked to attend second interview with the hiring manager. I turned down the second interview after further consideration. The position is fine, I was looking for a position that was in better alignment with my longterm career goals.
