Long interview process; statistical/data-science questions, LeetCode questions, and biological-related questions. I thought most questions were reasonable. However, I think gauging a candidate on LeetCode questions seemed a bit unusual for computational biologist positions. I don't practice those questions nor do many of my colleagues; as we usually are not asked that by other biotechs. I think they are potentially missing out a lot of great candidates that are not well-versed in the LeetCode world. Interview process was a bit longer than I would have liked. I thought the data-science questions were well thought out and relevant.

Q: I think it was was straight off Leetcode. I don't remember which one exactly.
Senior Computational Biologist applicants have rated the interview process at GRAIL with 4 out of 5 (where 5 is the highest level of difficulty) and assessed their interview experience as 100% positive. To compare, the company-average is 36.1% positive. This is according to Glassdoor user ratings.
