The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Genentech in Jul 2023
Interview
I applied for the long-term intern. The interview has two rounds
- Talking with the Hiring manager
- R assessment and deeper dive into the resume
After receiving an offer, they give about a week to make a decision. They will also ask to select the starting date but I think the choices depend heavily on the role itself.
I talked to the hiring manager for this role, and we discussed my PhD thesis and research, which was a good conversation and I was really interested. But then, it was total silence, and I did not even receive any automatic rejection. Very frustrating.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Genentech in Mar 2025
Interview
it was an easy and quick 30 minute interview, we simply just had a resume debrief and discussion about the roles and responsibilities of the internship, expected started date and company culture
Pretty easy and straight forward. The hiring manager was wonderful to talk to and explained the project very elaborately. Also helped throughout my internship and Genentech was a wonderful place to work at
