      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Genentech (South San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      Full day interview with a scientific talk on previous work followed by half hour interviews all day. Lots of hard questions about the research presented in the talk. They also asked questions about many of my published papers and wanted to know about the specifics of the methods used. I had to defend them and explain why others were not used.

      Question 1

      Extremely rigorous questioning on science presented.
