I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Roche (Penzberg) in Mar 2023
Interview
The interview was online and was about 1 hour. There were 4 interviewers but only one asked questions. There was a 10-15-minute presentation about your previous research experiences and then some behavior questions. They did not ask difficult technical questions related to the presentation. I think behavior questions were tricky.
