I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Biogen (Cambridge, MA) in Mar 2011
Interview
I had expressed my interest in the internship I ultimately applied for moths before it was posted online. I was interviewed by phone and it turned into a very good conversation about my research experience and the project I am currently working on. I suggest understanding the details of your previous work and understanding the theory behind the assays and techniques that you use in your research. Towards the end of the interview I was asked to supply a reference which I did by email. I had worked very closely with my reference for over a year and we worked very well together. I think that this was very good for my application. I think that they initially were going to bring me in for an onsite interview but I ended up just having a phone interview.

What is the most frustrating thing about purifying your protein?
I applied online. I interviewed at Biogen (Baar, Zug)
Interview
My experience with the Talent Acquisition "Business Partner" was disappointing due to a lack of professional engagement and poor body language during the interview. If a recruiter isn't really interested in meeting candidates, it's better not to send the invite at all. Furthermore, the complete lack of follow-up and subsequent ghosting is concerning. It makes me question how the company values its employees if they show so little respect for candidates' time and efforts.
Applied online via their website. The interview was split into two, each 30 minutes. For both, I was interviewed by two people who I would be working alongside or were in a related role.
