What is the hiring process like at Genentech?

Good pay, challenging/fun projects, exciting team culture, friendly/encouraging environment

Very fast-paced/demanding, what leadership says goes no questions asked, contractors are not treated the same as FTEs and that should have been made abundantly clear in the hiring process, leadership has little respect for work/life boundaries

Highly reputed with great potential for growth

Highly competitive and tough hiring process

Great salary and team! The interview process was smooth and effective.

To be determined, but so far many alignment meetings. Some folks have frustuations around the re-org and strategy changes.

+ challenging problems to solve + on-boarding process was good + work from home

- not a tech company: a software developer is expected to perform multiple duties - some tech is built on top of legacy technology

Genentech is a great company, that would help you to grow, and push is you the get out your comfort zone.

One thing I struggle was to please my manager, he had high expectation of me, and everything was new for me. I struggle to perform well, which was my first intern.

Great benefits, recognized name in biotech, frequent hiring phases.

Competitors are more innovative. Limited opportunities for advancement. Nepotism and favoritism seem to outshine real talent. Company is more concerned with efficiency rather than keeping talent. Behind the times.

Great people Many groups to join Always more work to do

Company was going to a merge/transition so it was difficult starting as a new employee. Many people were let go and others moved into new roles. Everyone was learning together so getting help was not always easy
