The HR emailed and called me to schedule a phone interview. I was interviewed by two senior members that I would work directly with. I had a hard time understanding one of them. The interview lasted about half an hour. They basically asked all the details of the projects I listed on my resume. They were specifically interested in a project for pharmaceutical applications. I was asked a lot of questions for that. I didn't get the internship at the end because of other complications.

Question 1
What do you learn from a specific project I listed on my CV.
One round with your potential manager, pretty basic behavioral questions. Prepare to talk about your projects you've worked on, strengths and weaknesses, why the role, ask 1-2 at the end!
A phone call and then a powerpoint presentation in person along with an in person interview with two members of the team I would be working. It took in total about a month before hearing anything
I applied online. I interviewed at Boehringer Ingelheim in Jan 2026
Interview
There were 4 separate interviews. Two scientists and two managers. The interviews with the managers were quite easy. They provided a description of the role and some information about the company, and asked job-specific and behavioural questions. Heard back after two weeks
