I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Genentech (South San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2016
Interview
I contacted the hiring manager in LinkedIn directly, and she scheduled a call directly a week later. She asked me about my relevant experience and my skills in analysis both business and financial and after talking to the team in a week. I was told that I would be a great candidate but not now! She said she knows it sounds a bit weird, but in one year you'll be a perfect candidate as your profile is moving forward.
First was a phone screen, then a 1:1 with the Hm. After that all the interviews were held remotely due to covid. I did several video calls with different members of the team. Overall the process went very smoothly with only minor technical difficulties.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Genentech (South San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2018
Interview
Long and time consuming and goes over months. It usually is with multiple people, a presentations and a group panel. They will grill you to break you, but being confident the entire time is the key.

Question 1
How my values and personal goals fit it with company vision?
I applied online. I interviewed at Genentech in Apr 2017
Interview
Unprofessional interview process. Administrative assistant sets up the interviews. Interviews went really well, standard behavioral questions. Direct onsite interviews - which was weird and raised my suspicion - am I just being interviewed so HR or recruiter can tick off their "multiple candidates interviewed?" box. They never respond to let you know if you are even rejected - I think I deserved to be informed, since I took time off and spent 6 hrs for their interviews - that is not professional, even after multiple follow up emails.
