I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Illumina (Cambridge, England) in Mar 2019
Interview
First was phone interview asking why did I apply, what do I know about Illumina and technology. Why do I think I am a good fit. What skills, experience I could bring to the team.
Secound was interview with hiring manager: questions related to Illumina technology-sample prep, clustering and sequenicng.
What project do I work recently and how this contribute to the team.
Third part was presentation to the team following questions.

Interview questions [1]

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Illumina
Interview
They asked for a video one way interview which was strange. Feels like the manager does not have the time or cares enough about the process to do the interview themselves.
Talent acquisition asked standard questions but couldn’t tell me much about the specifics of the team or role. Would imagine that would have been more of a hiring manager task.
