I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Illumina (San Diego, CA) in Jun 2016
Interview
30 minute phone interview about past experience and how it relates to the position, no behavioral questions. On site interview 2 weeks later, 4 sessions of 3 minutes with 2 interviewers each, asking behavioral questions, past experience, and a logic puzzle. Asked to describe specific instances for many questions, but the interviewers do a good job directing the conversation towards what they want. Very friendly and personable people.

Question 1
What is a specific example where you have solved a complex problem in the past?
Starts with HR screening call, then moved on to hiring manager call, then moved on to virtual panel interview with 6 members of different teams, whole process took about a month

Question 1
explain a time you dealt with conflict and steps you took to solve it
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Illumina
Interview
They asked for a video one way interview which was strange. Feels like the manager does not have the time or cares enough about the process to do the interview themselves.
Talent acquisition asked standard questions but couldn’t tell me much about the specifics of the team or role. Would imagine that would have been more of a hiring manager task.
