      Scientist Interview

      4 Oct 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Sunnyvale, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at 23andMe (Sunnyvale, CA) in Sept 2019

      Interview

      The whole process, from application submission to hire, took seven weeks and three days. Submitted app through referral, heard back two weeks later. Had a call with the hiring manager the next week, then a call with the recruiter two days later. That afternoon I was invited for an onsite. Had the onsite exactly one week later. Presentation, seven one-on-ones, and a casual lunch interview. Heard back about onsite one week later, and scheduled a call with the VP for early the following week. Had call with VP, heard back three days later when they asked for references. One week after I sent references, I got the offer letter. The recruiting team was extremely helpful during this whole process - they have a difficult job of satisfying both company and interviewee needs and expectations. They were well organized and appropriately attentive. They tell you generally what to expect with the onsite- enough preparation materials that there are no surprises, but you still need to do your own preparation. The one-on-ones included behavioral/situational questions but also had a conversational quality. It's very true that they want you to succeed. I went in terribly nervous, but that quickly went away as everyone was very warm and welcoming.
