I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Roche (Pleasanton, CA) in Oct 2010
Interview
Interview process began with a phone screen with HR, then an in-person interview that lasted 6 hours. Panel for in-person interview consisted of many managers and potential same-level co-workers. Questions asked were not difficult. They mainly focused on previous background (education and previous work experience).

Interview
1st - phone interview with the hiring manager. Then invited to the company for a panel interview with 10 directors. VERY unorganized! HR person wasn't prepared to meet with me. Had to walk to each director's office. Everyone seemed preoccupied and uninterested. No lunch offered for a 7hr interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Microbiology isn't bringing in the most revenue for the company. What will you do if that group is cancelled? Leave?
