I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Regeneron in Mar 2026
Interview
I was referred to this position by someone who works for Regeneron. He personally sent my CV to the hiring manager.
I was contacted for a screener interview by HR. Then was referred for a second interview with hiring manager. I promptly sent a thank you email to the hiring manager the same day as the interview.
Then the hiring manager completely ghosted me. I followed up after 2 weeks to inquire about my candidacy. Hiring manager never followed up. More than a month later, the HR person finally followed up to say they wouldn't be moving forward.
I would expect more professionalism from a company with a worldwide reputation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How to work with scientists and other stakeholders
A true indicator of consensus overload culture - 12 interviews with various stakeholders - exhausting and not necessary.. TA does a great job keeping communication lines open throughout the process but it’s clear too many people get to weigh in on a decision that comes down to 1 person . Giving this a positive experience since someone may enjoy meeting with that many people
First video interviews and 1 day on-site interview. Met the hiring manager, the HR, panel and had presentation during on-site interview. Arrived the day before and left during afternoon of the interview day.
Contacted by the recruiter, scheduled a phone call. Then had a phone call with the HM and then silence for more than a month. Checked in twice with the recruiter and only silence. Then 6 weeks later got a response that they went with other candidates within the company.
