Interview
I applied online. It took 4 weeks to start the process. I received an email to set up a screen phone interview. The process went well, and the HR was nice. No tough questions. All questions are based on my resume and the job requirements. The HR said she would send my file to the hiring manager. However, no further follow up.
I applied online. I interviewed at Roche (Basel) in Feb 2026
Interview
The first interview was a video assessment. The second interview was with the lead manager, who was very nice and caring. The process felt open and thoughtful, with an emphasis on ensuring a good match for both sides. Process took very long (+5 months).

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Roche (Pleasanton, CA) in Dec 2024
Interview
I completed a phone interview following the initial screening call, but both interviewers asked very similar questions throughout the conversation, so I honestly could not tell which person was actually the hiring manager during the interviews.
