      Bioinformatics Software Engineer Interview

      Oct 12, 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I interviewed at Genentech

      I applied online. 

      Interview

      I applied online. I was interviewed by a second party not from the Genentech. The interviewer kept on asking my experience. However, she did not provide any position details nor she allowed me to ask her any question. I asked her about the application status after a week. Then she forwarded my request to Genentech HR. Then, I received a rejection email. It was completely unprofessional. If you don't have people in your HR, then you should hire someone who could conduct phone screen professionally. How can a company rely on a second party feedback to hire someone? None of them are professional. They hire from reference. Other applications are for eye wash, clarity, fake comparison.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Related with my background, experience, position. The interviewer also asked sensitive information regarding my previous employment. This showcases her level of interview skill. It was a complete waste.
