I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Genentech
Interview
Communicated with a few recruiters about the position a couple months before the position was posted in January and made it clear that I was interested in the position. Interviewed with the hiring manager directly via skype and was offered the position a few weeks after.
Interview questions were all behavioral, including standard questions about your background, why this company, why this position, etc.

I applied in-person. I interviewed at Genentech (South San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2013
