I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Roche (Pleasanton, CA) in Feb 2022
Interview
The interview was a one hour video call with one of the researchers at Roche. She stated the position is remote. Some questions I struggled to answer were "which specific search algorithms have you used?" and "what do you know about zero dynamics".

Question 1
Describe your experience with pipelines, phylogenies/clustering, statistics, search algorithms, linux, and zero dynamics.
It was a good experience, mostly focused on explaining my projects and coding. Could have been better if coding questions were related to role and not just testing syntax/general algos
