I applied in-person. I interviewed at Illumina (Cambridge, England)
Interview
teams call followed by face to face with a presentation and meeting the team. it was not too technical process to follow and easy very welcoming and process was standard
There were several interviews with team members. All the questions were standard behavioral and mindset-related questions that weren’t too difficult to answer. Role was fleshed out more thoroughly in the interviews
The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Illumina (Eindhoven) in Aug 2022
Interview
The interview process took literally 2 month, we me having to follow-up each time. There were 6 interviews, all with people with important positions, and took a lot of my time and their own time. After 3 weeks not hearing a single word, I received a call that there is a hiring freeze! How on earth is it possible that a huge business doesn’t know they have a hiring freeze and has to wait 3 weeks to tell me this? This is absurd and a big lie and unfair to me dedicating this much time, if you were not happy with me, you could already reject my application after first interview.
