      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Illumina (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2019

      Interview

      I had a phone call first. They asked me alot of machine learning questions and basic biology questions about DNA, genes, central dogma etc. After that I was invited for an onsite interview to San Diego. It was 4-5 hour long and includes a lot of activities such as forming groups and playing games (This is for them to see how you collaborate in a team), having a short presentation from a subject that you are not ready for and they give you 5 mins to prepare, in person interview with your prospective manager.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What is the different between statistics and machine learning? which one do you prefer? what is the difference between neural network and deep learning and which do you prefer? writw joint probability of a given network (the network was on the board)
