I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Illumina in Aug 2017
Interview
I had applied online for the position. I recieved a virtual interview from the hiring manager. The interview was mainly focussed on the position being applied for. A lot of questions were statistical in nature. Some questions also tested the ability to solve a problem.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself? How do you think you can fit well in this particular role
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.
