      Senior Research Associate Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      South San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Genentech (South San Francisco, CA) in May 2015

      Interview

      Recommended to apply for this position. Had a phone interview for 30 min, and two weeks later had an informal interview with scientific manager. We talked for an hour, very comfortable, discussed my skill set and what I could bring to the position. Heard back by email two weeks later. Very nice interactions, would have liked to progress further. Genentech seems like a it is a very hardworking, fun and cutting edge environment.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Q: Why go into industry rather than academia? Q: Why Genentech? Q: What kind of managerial styles have you worked with?
