I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Genentech (South San Francisco, CA)
Interview
After an internal referral I had a phone screen by HR. This was followed by a phone screen with the hiring manager. Then I was asked to come in for a full day interview. After this I was asked to come back for ~1 hour to clarify some responses to HR and the hiring manager. A week or so later I received the offer.
