Interview
My recent interview experience with Illumina was extensive, spanning 5-6 rounds. The lack of clear communication and post-interview feedback made the process challenging. Receiving a rejection after significant time investment was disheartening. Hope this feedback contributes to refining their hiring process for future candidates.InterviewWhy Illumina?
