I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Roche in Jul 2009
Interview
I interviewed first for about 15-20 minutes with the director of research and development and then I was called for an on-site. At the on-site I interviewed with 4 principal scientists/engineers who I would be working with and a couple manager types. Got a tour of the facilities where I would be working and got a call within about 3 days to get hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do not really remember any particular questions that stuck out. Most of the questions were technical questions with a few general background questions.
