I applied online. I interviewed at Illumina (San Diego, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
A lengthy but thorough interview process for the iAspire program. The questions were technically difficult but not riddles or anything out of the ordinary. Each applicant competed against one other candidate for an internship spot. Everyone went through a technical interview, group challenge, presentation, and teamwork activity as part of the interview process.
