The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Genentech
Interview
I had a phone interview which led to an in-person interview two weeks later. I got to meet and be interviewed by 5 leads from 3 different departments. We went over my background, experience and knowledge of upstream and downstream processing. There were some behavioral questions. Once I answered all of their questions, they went over the position and gave me an opportunity to ask questions. Overall, it was a good experience. The thought of being interviewed by multiple people can seem intimidating. Be yourself and believe in your knowledge and skills.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Genentech (Vacaville, CA) in Jul 2022
Interview
Genentech wants people who work well with others and are overall friendly individuals, as you will be put on a shift of about 10 employees if offered the job. It is important that you get along with these coworkers because you will be spending 10-12 hours with one another. The interview process consisted of a panel of 5 managers/supervisors from each shift. They asked questions such as “Why is diversity in the workplace important?” And “Describe a situation when…”
Started with a phone screen with a talent recruiter where they asked basic questions and described the position. The next interview was a panel interview with a few supervisors in manufacturing
