I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Illumina (San Diego, CA) in Feb 2016
Interview
The first part was the phone interview and then they had an on-site interview for the top three candidates. The on-site interview was split into four parts: 2 group activities, 1 individual interview with some technical questions, and 1 on-spot presentation on one of three optional topics. The technical questions were fairly basic questions related to the background for the role, and the individual interview asked more about things on your resume.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the angle between the hour and minute hand if it is 12:15?
Virtual interview, I didn't get to talk to a real person, had to record all of my answers with a time limit, it was a horrible process and there was very little human communication
The first step was an audio-only hirevue that allowed two attempts. After passing that, there were two video call interviews with team members for a total of around 90 minutes give or take.

Interview
Weird video interview where they asked me "How would you explain to a 6-year-old why the sky is orange at sunset." The other question I don't remember but was equally strange for a 2-question video interview. It felt very impersonal.
