I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Genentech (New York, NY) in Sep 2021
Interview
The process was clear and simple, with two different interview stages. The first was self-directed where you video record yourself answering essay questions, and the second was with the team I was to work with had I gotten accepted to the program. Everything was clear but they took long times in-between interviews and making decisions.
