The interview was mostly a couple casual chats about research with the research heads/PIs. It was pretty straightforward. It mostly depends on whether you mesh with your program lead. Characters

I applied online. I interviewed at Genentech.

Interview

Thirty minute phone interview with a team leader who was very nice. He was easy to talk to and the conversation was informal in a good way. Although I didn't get an offer, I have nothing but good things to say about my experience.

phone screen, interview with scientist, then short seminar and speak with several scientists. Everyone I spoke with was highly engaged and respectful. Communication was always timely. Overall they made me feel comfortable during the whole experience.

Application

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Genentech in November 2020.

Interview

Phone screening to start. Then if you're selected for interviews, you'll have five interviews with quality, manager, different team leader, and team. Wanted to get to know behavioral responses and how you would handle certain situations.

Application

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Genentech (Los Angeles, CA (US)).

Interview

The interviewer asked me to ask questions for 30 mins. It was very hard to keep asking questions instead of answering one. But the interviewer was very kind. It was rather a good learning opportunity to learn about the industry and the company.

Interview

Basic behavioral interviews, wasn't too bad overall. They just wanted to get a sense of your character and how it fit into Genentech's overall mission and goals. They also tried to get a sense of your experience and projects.

Interview

First Application, then Video Interview, and finally the Final Round Interview (supposed to be held in person but changed due to COVID). The waiting time between each round was long and there wasn't much communication during that time.
