- “Overall, Boehringer was an amazing place to do an internship. … Boehringer is truly a unique company, offering interns many of the same benefits that full-time employees receive. Management was, though busy, always extremely helpful and encouraging of intrapreneurship. Also, very friendly of work/life balance, as I was initially required to come in 40 hours a week, I was a student, and management allowed me to drop down to part-time hours.”
- “Definitely a great work-life balance—I am able to work from home 2-3 days a week. Great company culture: everyone is very kind and helpful. I worked 40 hours a week—about 3 days in the office and 2 from home.”

- “My interview process was great, considering I actually heard back from someone, unlike a lot of other companies. I first interviewed with a woman in HR for about 15 minutes, and she set me up with the interview team at the location where I applied to work. Within two weeks, I interviewed with a panel of three people for 45 minutes; it was slightly intimidating at first, but they did a good job at making me feel comfortable. Within 15 minutes after the interview ended, the same HR woman who I first talked to called me and told me I had been offered the position. The interviews weren't overly difficult, and they genuinely seemed interested in getting to know me. Not only did they want someone with a good background, but it was also important that the intern could 'fit in' to the department.”
