I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Roche (Indianapolis, IN) in May 2011
Interview
After applying for a role I was very qualified for online, my application was rejected in about two weeks. Approximately a month later, an external recruiting agency presented my resume to the recruiter and hiring manager and I was hired. Basically, the screening questions in the application booted me from the pool, though I was ultimately hired for the role. Having worked their 6 years after that as a hiring manager, the number of applications makes it very difficult to get in the door unless you have an employee refer you (and actually email the hiring manager) or you are an internal candidate.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Roche in Jun 2022
Interview
Initial interview was with the hiring manager and HR.
The interview felt a tad lifeless and a bit too rigid given this was a senior role, too much focus on when I dealt with a challenging scenario or when I had to navigate a political time.
Ultimately it felt like the role was potentially toxic and the whole experience has a negative tint to it.
Not nearly enough time was dedicated to actual skill sets or true day to day work that was carried out successfully.
