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
