I applied online. I interviewed at Illumina (San Diego, CA)
Interview
I got an email and it gave a link to do video interview within 3 days. It is my first time to have a video interview so I was very nervous and in a hurry. I do not think I fully showed my experience and education background. Because it is only video, it do not have any interaction so that it looked very cold to answer questions, which were give by computer, like ETS test.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
about very detailed technique question, such as advanced mathematics, program
In the technical round, I was asked to solve Java problems like star pattern printing, string manipulation, and logic-based tasks like checking even/odd numbers and parsing strings. One question was about accessing specific characters from the end of a string.
pre-recorded video interview. very complicated and nerve-racking. not good for those who are introverts and nervous in front of camera. I wish they had more guidelines or more practice opportunities.
