Illumina Reviews

Pros

Talented, smart and warm people.

Cons

Upper management needs to stay focused

Pros

Best reasons to work for Illumina are the excellent benefits, exciting scientific programs, and the company mission. Most people who work at Illumina are very enthusiastic about the company mission and are truly inspired by it. I was very inspired by the mission as well. Great opportunities for career growth and development. Excellent work/life balance (at least on my team).

Cons

As with all mid to large size companies, your experience is determined by your immediate coworkers and your management chain. There are some great and some terrible managers at Illumina. Right now (2020) there is a huge amount of turnover in the Marketing Department, however... other departments and roles are likely more stable. The company overall has great prospects for the future.
