I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Genentech in Mar 2012
Interview
They were nice but the initial interview spanned a broad range of questions that I was not prepared for. I initially thought it would just be behavioral questions for the primary interview. However, I was quite wrong. The questions ranged from statics, biology, and chemistry. Along with questions from prior work experience.
