Questions d'entretien chez Illumina

I was initially approached by a recruiter on LinkedIn who fast tracked me to a video interview round without speaking to me on the phone first. The video round was a little awkward with only 2 minutes to answer each question. Three weeks later I heard back and was pushed to speak with a hiring manager. After following up with my recruiter since I heard nothing back three weeks later I was asked to do an in depth presentation around promoting some of their current content. After presenting all interviewers told me they were impressed but I didn’t hear back for another month despite trying to connect with my recruiter multiple times. TL;DR: Be wary. A 2 month interview process with an in depth project and bad communication definitely did not make me want to work here even if I had gotten the job. Very unprofessional.

The process only had one interview, and there were 5 supervisors at that time. It was a great interview and the questions were not too tough. Most of them focused on your personality.

In a highly competitive hiring market, when will companies ever learn to have skilled people who are trained in HR and talent acquisition help their teammates conduct interviews? I had a series of interviews with various personnel. To be fair, several of them were very nice. Unfortunately, this was offset by others that were patronizing, passive aggressive, and not prepared (and this is putting it mildly). These are the people I will be working with? Umm, thanks, but I'll pass.

Phone interview. Mostly technical questions were asked, 1 soft skill question. Interviewer's environment having echo and interviewer's hard accent contributed to difficulty in interpreting questions clearly. Interview time was around 40-50 minutes.

First interview was a video recording via Hirevue. 8 questions and you get 2 tries per questions. It’s timed but you literally can just watch your recording after the first try and pause it to think about how the question to prep for the second try. Second interview was a short phone call from HR asking 2-3 questions and discussing salary. Third was a technical interview with hypotheticals.

Great phone interview and then in-person interview, not too many technical questions. My willingness to learn superseded my knowledge gap. The salary just wasn't what I was looking for so I had to decline

Overall it was a good experience, questions about past experience, qualifications, and personality. I didn’t hear back from them, although I thought we had a nice chat. Only in a few weeks I got automated reply that I have not been selected for the role

The interview was a 1 way video interview with 8 questions conducted on the website Hireview. Each question allotted 3-4 minutes to answer as well as 2-3 minutes to prep.

Illumina's digital interviews allow you to record a video answering a set of questions after giving you a minute to prepare your answer. I felt that this was quite friendly, and didn't feel too pressured.

Virtual HR interview and an interview with small team discussing my research. This was followed up with 5 additional interivews with two people each asking multiple questions and a presentation in front of multiple people.
