I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Genentech in Sep 2007
Interview
I lucked out. The interview process was unusually short for this company. I met with 6 individuals during one day-and received a job offer the following day. In fact, the recruiter phoned me as I was driving home from the interview and essentially said the job was mine.

Interview
First there was an interview with the recruiter followed by an interview with the hiring manager. Then there was a series of round table interviews with so many people (30 I think) and a presentation as well. Everyone was nice, and questions were very relevant to the job, but it was very overwhelming, spread over a couple of weeks and then there was a seemingly very long period where they were getting signatures and putting together an offer letter, even thought I’d gotten the verbal offer fairly quickly.
