Real, anonymous reports from people who interviewed for Software Engineer at Roche Digital Technology, newest first and distilled into what to expect across the loop.
After applying, I was pulled into a more assessment-heavy flow that started with an asynchronous video interview. I had to record responses to a set of questions focused on motivation and behavioral themes, and the same general stage also included programming work tied to the SDTM and ADaM data standards. Completing that portion took me into the following week timeframe.
My process kicked off with an HR-screen style step that was essentially a HireVue-style set of behavioral questions. It covered themes like collaboration, leadership, conflict resolution, and where I expected to be in five years, and it felt less like an actual conversation and more like the system filtering for baseline traits.
The interview process often begins with an asynchronous video interview or an HR screening focused on behavioral themes like collaboration and conflict resolution, which serves as a filter for baseline traits.
Candidates typically face a series of technical assessments, including coding challenges that may range from LeetCode-style problems to system design questions, requiring clear explanations of their approach.
Subsequent rounds often involve panel interviews with team members, emphasizing both technical skills and cultural fit, where interviewers assess how well candidates align with the team's working style.
Candidates frequently report issues with communication and follow-up, noting delays and vague updates after interviews, which can leave them feeling unacknowledged despite a smooth interview process.
Some candidates are required to deliver presentations about their projects or participate in group activities, which assess collaboration and idea development rather than traditional technical skills.
The overall difficulty of the interview process is often described as average to high, with candidates reflecting on the importance of being prepared for both technical and behavioral aspects, as well as the pressure of recorded interviews.
