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.

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.

Phone screen with recruiter followed by a phone interview with hiring manager (45 min). The on site interview will be a whole 7-8 hour day where you will meet all members of the department.
