I applied online. I interviewed at Illumina in Nov 2016
Interview
Video interview, 8 questions total (1 video per question). The last question asks whether you want to submit one interview for all jobs, or a separate interview for each job. So, question 7 is actually the last video question and your chance to thank them for the opportunity. The questions were typical interview questions. I've only completed this step and am waiting to hear back, but based on the job posting the next steps in the interview process are a technical phone interview and finally an on site assessment.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a collaboration. Why did you have to collaborate? What was the most challenging aspect of collaborating? What did you learn from the experience?
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.
