On-site Interview, question about maintaining cell lines and generic behavioral questions. Relatively easy interview with several managers and HR. After the interview, within the week received a call back from them.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Biogen in Sept 2011
Interview
I was a temp at biogen for about 8 months before a permanent spot opened up. I interviewed for the permanent spot to change my temp status. I applied through internal job postings and got an email from the HR rep responsible for setting up the interviews. She gave me a time and place for the interview in one of the other buildings. The interview was set up as a panel interview and I interviewed with 3 managers/supervisors for the department I was interviewing for.
Typical questions included "What do you do if there was a deviation on floor?" "Tell me about a time you were pressured to do a process in a non-compliant manner." "Tell me about a time you went above and beyond." Once the interview was over, I left the room and the managers stayed behind to discuss what went on.
They will ask questions about diversity and inclusion. Be prepared to give real world scenarios for every question asked. The questions they ask they are assessing if you are a fast learner and if you will fit well with the teams.
