I applied online. I interviewed at Illumina in Jun 2014
Interview
There were two phone interviews, both with mostly good technical questions, can not disclose
They were pretty standard for the position - algorithms, data structures, complexity, several specific algorithm for the data processing
Also they were not advanced to the face-to-face interview I feel that I would be very good for the position
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All questions were technical, not hard, interviewers were friendly and calm
It starts with HR review, then a video interview. The video interview will start with questions about the resume. Then, they asked a question from Leetcode via Leetcode. It was a two-sum problem.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Solve a 2-sum problem. It is the typical 2-sum problem directly from Leetcode.
Easy process, very simple phone screen followed by a algo / data structures technical round. I would say to just focus on getting better at leetcode, and to not sweat it too much.
focus on technical, no much behavior question. need to match job description, whole day interview with 5/6 interview panel. lunch provided, and onsite interview. remote allowed but prefer to be onsite
