I applied in-person. I interviewed at Genentech (South San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Two rounds of interviews. One panel and one with the hiring manager. Pretty straightforward with typical interview questions. Know your experience and why you are a good candidate. External candidates will have a phone screen as well that goes over your resume and background.
The interview was a one-hour technical session focused on a recent project. I was asked to explain my design choices, implementation details, challenges faced, and how I approached problem-solving and optimization throughout the project.
Very thorough. Began with application, then phone screen then three separate zoom interviews. I did not make it past the second zoom but everyone along the way was very nice and informative.
