I applied online. I interviewed at Illumina (San Diego, CA) in Jun 2022
Interview
Illumina reached out with a generic email that my resume was selected and that I was going to receive a link for a HireVue interview. I conducted the HireVue interview and had no way of contacting the recruiter or anyone at Illumina for feedback or for the next steps. Additionally, I found it a bit hard to prepare for a HireVue interview when I had never spoken to the recruiter to learn more about the role.

Question 1
Why are you interested in working at Illumina and how did you hear about this position?
Very technical interview and they expect you to know their technology inside and out. Tech specs on various kits, devices, and data output. Got to meet with basically the entire inside team which took several hours but felt like a thorough picture of all the personalities involved.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Illumina (San Diego, CA) in Nov 2021
Interview
Very long and all day interviews with sales presentations . Interviews were well prepare with diverse questions. Recruiters were very helpful and organized during the process. The sales presentation was difficult because we were not given a briefing on the products and we were asked live questions that have answers that are no publicly available on the website
