Applied online and received a response within 4 days. Was contacted by a talent acquisition manager to schedule time for a phone interview a few days later. The phone interview was about 30 minutes, half of the time spent answering their questions and half of the time asking questions. The questions were pretty typical of a phone screening (start off by telling me about yourself, why this position, why Biogen Idec).

Question 1
What do you think will be your biggest challenge in the position?
1 HR interview with HR. Then 4 interviews of 30min each with recruiting manager and team. Friendly but lengthy process. It took about 3 months between application and final decision
I applied online. I interviewed at Biogen in Sep 2022
Interview
Only HR interview, no other rounds. The interviewer was nice, however she understood little about the role. Her questions were very typical and did not share what they were looking for in the candidates.
4-5 interviews with the cross-functional team (medical, commercial, HEOR). The interviews largely entailed behavioral questions about past experiences except for a few discussions about patient finding. The process was generally well organized through the recruiter. There was little communication with the hiring manager outside of the interview.
