I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Roche (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2017
Interview
The overall experience was great. Everyone I interacted with were polite, informative, and very patient to answer all my questions. During the interview process, they were very forthright with why they were asking certain questions and would guide you through all tricky areas to see your thinking process. Most questions were quite straight forward but some require extra thinking, which again, they were happy to guide you through if you get stuck
