I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Illumina (Singapore)
Interview
Interviewed with illumina in SG. Take home assessment to complete within 3 days. pick 1 out of 10 topics and build a winform application based on the topic. Very simple.
Got into the next stage of technical interview with 4 senior / staff engineers. I have been to interviews with other companies concurrently and I have to say this is the worst interview I have ever experienced. 3 of the interviewers are extremely rude. Mocking or smirking just because I explained some concepts wrongly. Very unprofessional behavior from engineers of a senior level. Wouldn't want to work with illumina knowing that their engineers have no basic form of respect. Asked them about their projects, doesn't sound exciting either. If you are looking for long term growth, highly recommended not to waste time interviewing with them. HR were genuine, unlike their engineers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What design patterns have you used
No coding questions, just on your past experiences and OOP concepts
It starts with HR review, then a video interview. The video interview will start with questions about the resume. Then, they asked a question from Leetcode via Leetcode. It was a two-sum problem.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Solve a 2-sum problem. It is the typical 2-sum problem directly from Leetcode.
Easy process, very simple phone screen followed by a algo / data structures technical round. I would say to just focus on getting better at leetcode, and to not sweat it too much.
focus on technical, no much behavior question. need to match job description, whole day interview with 5/6 interview panel. lunch provided, and onsite interview. remote allowed but prefer to be onsite
