I applied online. I interviewed at Illumina (Cambridge, England)
Interview
Two phone interviews, one to discuss the role and one to discuss the technical science and my experience. The second interview was more difficult as it was conducted with two people and found it difficult to understand the interviewers through the speakerphone they were using. Was declined a face-to-face interview after the second phone interview due to lack of experience.

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Illumina
Interview
They asked for a video one way interview which was strange. Feels like the manager does not have the time or cares enough about the process to do the interview themselves.
Talent acquisition asked standard questions but couldn’t tell me much about the specifics of the team or role. Would imagine that would have been more of a hiring manager task.
