The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Illumina
Interview
Phone interview screening and then onsite interview. Somewhat technical. Good experience overall. Too bad I didn't get the actual offer. Friendly people and typical Silicon Valley hardworking environment. Ask you general questions about statistics, biology, chemistry, and they would also ask you about your own research extensively.
In the technical round, I was asked to solve Java problems like star pattern printing, string manipulation, and logic-based tasks like checking even/odd numbers and parsing strings. One question was about accessing specific characters from the end of a string.
pre-recorded video interview. very complicated and nerve-racking. not good for those who are introverts and nervous in front of camera. I wish they had more guidelines or more practice opportunities.
