      Anonymous employee
      South San Francisco, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Achaogen (South San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2016

      Interview

      Full day interview: Includes 1 hour presentation on previous work, six short 1on1 interviews with hiring managers and coworkers. Lots of questions during the presentation, scientifically engaged audience. 1on1 interviews varied a lot, mostly in depth discussions of subjects pertaining to the presentation, but also a good overview of possible projects.

      Question 1

      Many questions were specific to what I had done. Some more general questions including: Where do you yourself in 2-5 years? Tell me about a time you handled a professional conflict.
