The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Genentech (Hillsboro, OR) in Jun 2010
Interview
My initial communications with the company was a phone interview. From the beginning it was obvious they were looking for a very specific candidate: somebody with aseptic experience with good investigational and root cause analysis skills. When I came to Portland for the interview, I was very impressed. The campus was beautiful and the people were very nice. The interview process was very long and consisted of almost a full day. I spoke with several managers, the HR recruiter, and my potential coworkers. One interesting tidmit with the Genentech interviews were the behavioral questions, which were equally as important as the job specific ones. It is obvious that a candidate who is a good fit for the culture was a very important criteria.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Genentech in Jun 2011
Interview
I received an email, inviting me in for a in-person interview with two days notice. The panel interview consisted of five individual 1:1 interviews with three supervisors and two associates from the department. I met the first interviewer at the lobby of one building and she brought me up to a conference room in another building. The other four interviewers came and went from the conference room, and I just stayed in there. The interviewers were very friendly and the work environment is very casual. My interview lasted a total of 3 hours. They asked questions about my past work experience and several behavioral questions.
