Interviewed May 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
I have gone on many interviews at UCSF, and most of the time, the position is already filled by an internal candidate, and the people interviewing you are just trying to meet a required quota of people to meet with before they can go ahead and offer the position to someone that they have in mind. This was incredibly frustrating, because you are basically wasting your time; some of the interviewers were kind enough to let me know what was going on. Please ask if the interviewer already has a candidate in mind for the position before taking a lot of time and energy to interview for the position.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 1 week)
THE UCSF was difficult for me mainly because I am new to the health field. They were really looking for an individual with at least a year of experience. Even though this was an entry level position. The culture of the hospital is very professional and I thought the person who interviewed was very professional and extremely nice. This hospital is extremely busy and fast past in comparison to many other hospital in the bay area.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 1+ week)
I applied online for a position at UCSF and then got a call from them for an onsite interview. I was surprized they did not take any telephonic screening.
The organization is an academic one. Supervisors are flexible and professional. As long as the work is done no one cares about how long or from what to what time have you been there in the office.
Mostly standard interview questios were askd so be prepared with all standard interview questions!
I could not clear the interview since they got someone with more IND experience and I had more experience on the device side (510k)

Interviewed Dec 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took 2 weeks)
Around 7 days after I submitted my online application, I was offered a phone interview. I think UCSF usually does in person interviews right away, but I was not a local applicant, so it made more sense to first do a phone interview. After the phone interview, I was asked to provide the contact information of 3 references. After references were checked, I was offered an in person interview. At UCSF, your education (college you attended and GPA) seem to matter a lot. The interview questions were mostly about research experience and personality fit.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in San Francisco, CA (took 2 days)
The hiring manager first sent email to reply my application and set up a time, then called up for a phone interview about the experience and other general questions which was about 1h. One week later, the assistant jumped in to set up on-site interview time and made all logistics for my trip of 2 days interview. The on-site interview was very much intensive with presentations and 1:1 interview with about 20 people in one day and 2nd day for facility visit and final wrap-up.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in San Francisco, CA (took 6 days)
I was interviewed by people who don't even know what they are talking about. Be careful what they tell you in the interview about your job duties because that always turns out to be different once you're hired. The managers totally take advantage of the competent people and dump all the work on them while the person who is sitting next to you has nothing to do because she is incompetent yet she makes more than you.
Negotiation Details
There is no room for negotiation as they told me that, due to equity, every employee in the same classification gets the same level of compensation. This turned out to be wrong as I found out, after the fact, that there are less experienced colleagues of mine in the same category who are paid more than me.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 5 days)
Very smart and very dedicated people, but the organization is weathering significant changes, especially the fundraising office since their leader just stepped down after a problematic 18 months at the helm. There is a disconnection between the administrative staff, the hiring manager and the other managers brought into the interview process. The hiring manager could use some training on conducting interviews. Things seem to be very casual - better to follow a set list of questions, and to share with the other interviewers the sought after qualities for the candidate. That said, with the flux in the organization at present, it would be a good place for someone who 1) is very entrepreneurial ; 2) can land on his/her feet if the job doesn't work our; 3) is patient enough to work in an organization of that size; 4) is passionate about medicine and doesn't mind the egos of the physicians.
