Phone interview 1st and in person interview ~3 wks later. Met with 10 people: 8 statisticians and 2 MDs. Gave a 1 hour seminar at lunchtime. Everyone I met I was impressed with but I was well prepared.
Not special. It took a whole day. Talked to some people in the morning, and then did the presentation in the noon and then talked to other people. No difficult questions for me in interview. Answered every question in the presentation. I felt good, but eventually was rejected. Very surprised.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Genentech (South San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2015
