I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Genentech (South San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2012
Interview
Overall interview experience was very positive. The administration was on top of things to make sure the recruits are happy while they are coming on-site for interview. The potential hiring manager made sure I was comfortable from the beginning. Interview was day long and I got very tired by the end of the day. Everyone was pretty nice except one person who tried to play good cop/bad cop role. Very relaxed atmosphere overall but, I was a little concerned that people were a little unhappy with the merger.
