I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Biogen in Mar 2020
Interview
I applied through a recruiter, the recruiter was very aggressive and then once I accepted my offer she was completely hands off. Lots of interviews, maybe 10+. Questions were not hard at all, very generic about the company elements and how you fit in. Could definitely already see some egos and conflicts between coworkers already based on their interactions with each other. Difficult to get an honest answer, as interview pairs are usually one higher level paired with one entry level.
