      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Genentech (South San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2019

      Interview

      Very welcoming. Talked to folks from all over the department for 30 minutes each. Lunch with other scientific researchers. Overall, it was more of a interview for cultural fit rather than technical expertise. They already knew I had the skills to do the job.
