      ENGINEER-1 Interview

      Aug 8, 2025
      Anonymous employee
      Singapore
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Illumina (Singapore) in Mar 2022

      Interview

      It was good, the interviewers were friendly and asked some technical questions regarding the role. It was an easy process, and the interviewers were interested in how I am as a person rather than my academics, which is a good way to gauge if someone is up for a job.
