I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Illumina in Mar 2017
Interview
It's a video recording interview. Received an e-mail containing a link. 5 questions total. Each question has about 30 s preparation time. Each question has about 3 min to answer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a technology you often used in your research.
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.
