I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Genentech (South San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2011
Interview
Applied through their website around mid-March. I heard back from them about a month later from HR saying they would pass my resume to a hiring manager. Another 2 weeks went by before I heard anything. I got a email from someone in the Analytical Operations department (later my supervisor) saying they had a position and wanted to set up an interview. I was in school at the time so it was by phone. The interview lasted about 30 min. She asked me some questions about my past experiences and explained what I would be doing and if I was interested. I got my offer about 2 weeks after my interview.
