I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Illumina in Apr 2022
Interview
Got a callback to do an interview with two software engineers, was sent a project before the interview and given very little context as to what to prepare. Interview had technical questions that would have required fairly specific experience to answer. Difficult for those coming from a different technical stack or a different role.

Question 1
What are some issues with the sample project that was sent?
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.

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
