I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Genentech (South San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
The interviewers were very personable and nice. It was like having a conversation. They wanted to know if your personality would be a right fit for the company. The interview consisted of three one on one interviews.
A bit disorganized. They mention I am a strong candidate then dissapears for months. When I follow up sating I need to make a choice because I have another opening I get a rejection letter
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to join?
What are your long term career prospects?
Why industry vs academia?
Examples of collaborations with others.
Initial application consisting of cv submission and choices of postdoc mentors followed by one-way video interview, followed by decision to proceed with one day interviews, took a total of 10 months. Long time to hear any response back.
The interview process consisted of a first interview with both the hiring managers, a technical round to check skills, and finally an on-site interview with individual interviews with members of the team.
