I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Illumina (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
There was first a 30 minute phone interview to gauge relevant work experience on the project that they are hiring for. If you pass that phone interview and they like you, they bring you on for an In person interview with a group of managers and or people on the project itself. If you pass that you are good!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General behavioral questions. Explain the theory on lab instrumentation (Mass Spectrometer), What is glass made of?
Starts with HR screening call, then moved on to hiring manager call, then moved on to virtual panel interview with 6 members of different teams, whole process took about a month
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
explain a time you dealt with conflict and steps you took to solve it
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.
