      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Exelixis (South San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2009

      Interview

      The interview was in December 2007. There were several 1:1 interviews, a 1-hour presentation as well as a question and answer period, and we went out to lunch. The questions were mostly technical in nature, and they wanted to know how hands-on I would be in the position.
