I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Genentech (South San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Full day of interview with several scientist and researches in the department of interest, includes an oral presentation (~40 min) by the candidate. The interview process includes a meeting with HR to discuss details related to benefits. Somewhat tiring, but well organized and friendly.

The interview process consisted of a first interview with both the hiring managers, a technical round to check skills, and finally an on-site interview with individual interviews with members of the team.
