      I applied online. I interviewed at Roche (Basel) in Feb 2026

      The first interview was a video assessment. The second interview was with the lead manager, who was very nice and caring. The process felt open and thoughtful, with an emphasis on ensuring a good match for both sides. Process took very long (+5 months).

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. I interviewed at Roche (Pleasanton, CA) in Dec 2024

      Interview

      I completed a phone interview following the initial screening call, but both interviewers asked very similar questions throughout the conversation, so I honestly could not tell which person was actually the hiring manager during the interviews.
