I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Illumina (San Diego, CA) in Jul 2015
Interview
I received a phone call from the HR about 3 months after the online application. This one was about some behavior questions. I passed it and got a chance to talk to the hiring manager for a technical interview. I answered a few technical questions and was asked if I would be available for an onsite interview in the following 1-2 weeks. However, nothing happened afterwards.
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.
