I applied online. I interviewed at Illumina (San Diego, CA)
Interview
Was sent a form from a recruiter to fill out asking about salary, location, how I found Illumina, general questions. About a week later, I got an email back saying they would like to move forward with me to a phone screen. I had about a 45 minute conversation with two senior software engineers, covering a bit about my background and usual java questions. I was then invited for an on-site. The on-site consisted of 3 (maybe 4, can't quite remember) panel interviews and a coding challenge where I wrote some code with half completed projects. I had about an hour to write about 5 programming questions without use of the internet. Everyone I met was extremely nice and had a pleasant experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing out of the ordinary. Pretty standard Java questions alongside the coding challenge
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
