      Development Engineer Interview

      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Illumina (San Diego, CA)

      Interview

      Submitted resume and within 1-2 weeks was contacted to set up phone interview. Phone interview lasted 30min with a senior engineer. Was asked some oddball questions to test thought process. It went okay and an onsite interview was scheduled in 1-2 weeks. The on-site interview was with various managers, directors, sr and staff engineers. Most interviewers had some technical skill questions to ask, and had 1-2 interviewers just discussed past experience. Overall felt very rushed, and most interviewers were decent and pleasant to talk to, and seemed to care how you answered the questions. Others were somewhat patronizing. Waited 1 week and received a email stating they decided to move ahead with someone else.
