      Process Development Engineer (Reagent) Interview

      Jul 15, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Singapore
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Illumina (Singapore) in Dec 2016

      Interview

      I applied through Illumina website and got an email soon later. First was phone interview via Hirevue, next I was called to on-site interview with a manager and another senior engineer. At that time, the impression that I received was that they really needed people urgently to fill up that position. First 20 mins was all about background and interest sort of questions, the unexpected part was when they tested me to troubleshoot for the faulty product (real-life example) on the spot. Now when I looked back, that test wasn't that difficult at all, but I was too nervous due to the stressful face I saw from one of them (perhaps this was one of the test as well! Don't get scared by their look) that I couldn't think logically. So that was obvious that I couldn't get any offer in the end.
