I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Genentech in Feb 2016
Interview
The interview process was very pleasant, and what I expected as a graduate student. Contacted by email about a video interview. Interviewed a little over a week later. A couple weeks later I was offered the position after my reference was contacted. The first part of the interview involved a little bit of scientific background. What I have worked on with emphasis on the types of techniques I have used. This was followed by work environment type questions about collaborating/working independently during the internship. It ended with an explanation of the internship program, and the project I would be working on.
