I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Genentech (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2009
Interview
Basically, it was a series of panel interviews throughout the day. Each interview had 2-3 people asking questions related to the company culture, each panel took 45 min to 1 hour, it started in the morning with HR and peers, then to associate directors, managers, then finally hiring manager and validation.
Interview questions [1]
