I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Biogen (Cambridge, MA) in Mar 2013
Interview
It was an eight person day long process. The questions were behavioral and they were assessing my personality. There were also questions testing my technical and critical thinking abilities.
Panel interviews and a presentation. Long process spread out over multiple weeks. Got to meet everyone who I would work with in this function. Overall, nice to meet the whole team but also could get tiring to reintroduce myself with each panel.
It was all online, spoke with the HR contact first. Then had panel interview remote. Lots of questions about the culture, company values, mission, etc. Great energy from the interview panelists.
The first part of the interview process was the phone screen (<30 minutes) with HR, next is 30 minute phone screen with hiring manager, and last is the 4-5 hour interview which includes multiple 1:1 interview plus a 15 presentation and panel Q&A.
