I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Genentech in Feb 2017
Interview
Super friendly and easy process. The HR person was very flexible with my schedule and I was able to find a time that worked. I got the first interview and they responded 2 weeks later about whether I got the second interview, which was scheduled another 2 weeks later (1 month total of waiting). After the 2nd interview, I heard back about a week and a half later.
