I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Biogen
Interview
When I interviewed the company was still a start up before being acquired by biogen, not a formal interview process at the time. Interview was fairly simple and stress free. Interview was a total of 2 hours. Met with all employees in the group, hiring manager and VP. I was hired that day.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Biogen (Cambridge, MA) in Sep 2013
Interview
Was initially contacted by outside recruiter who set up a phone interview with manager. The phone interview was about 30 minutes long and included some basic questions about my background and some discussion about the role responsibilities. It was a cordial interview and I was selected for the next round of interviews. The next interview took place at Biogen Idec where I was scheduled to meet with five different people for 30 minutes each. Everyone was extremely pleasant and cordial and I felt very comfortable with the interview. The questions regarded my scientific background and what I can bring to the position. Nobody tried to "trick" me with any questions and it was very professional.
