I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Biogen (Cambridge, MA) in Mar 2017
Interview
I was contacted by Biogen to interview for a summer intern position. HR contacted me and we had a pre-interview conversation. Biogen really seemed like they wanted me to do well. HR was very prompt and easy to communicate with, which has been rare for me while applying for intern positions.

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.
