Questions entretien chez Illumina

Candidature

J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien à Illumina.

Entretien

HireVue, HR Call, Staff Engineer Call, and another HR call before onsite. Illumina lowballs on salary offered, 75k initially. When I asked for at least 100k they stopped the onsite interview. I'd avoid working with them in the future. If you're fine with being undervalued sounds like a great place.

Entretien

Was sent an automated email to record video answers to predetermined questions. Had never done that before and considered not doing it as I consider it so impersonal. Did it anyway and was not selected. I've had much better personal interactions with much larger and faster growing companies. Company should make initial interactions much more personal. At least send an actual email (not an automated one from Workday) or make a phone call.

I applied online first and then had to speak on the phone with the hiring manager about 30 minutes. This was a non-technical interview in which he talked about their work and ask me some non-technical questions such as why I wanted to transition industry. The second round was a 30-min phone call with a senior member and he asked about my research and asked a simple algorithmic problem. Due to COVID-19 they conducted the final rounds online. First there was a 1 hour presentation about my research and then 5 1 on 1 coding challenges. I can't disclose the details of the questions but you'd need to be very comfortable with coding in Python and it's data science ecosystem.

Overall, I thought they had put a lot of thought into designing the questions but the interview was heavy on python libraries. Besides the 1 on 1 with the team leader, where he asked a very interesting question that we spent about 90 minutes solving, other interviews didn't really test my intelligence to be honest.

At the end, after 3 weeks I got a rejection letter saying that it was a hard decision because I did well in interviews but they picked someone else.

After a series of 4 phone calls I was invited onsite. 12 hours before the onsite meeting they told me they were canceling the interview because the team would be working from home moving forward. I asked if it could be done virtually instead of rescheduling and they obliged, getting back to me at 10 pm the night before the 8:30 am interviews.

It was 4 hours of one on one interviews where each person asked the same questions. It should have been simplified to a panel. One of the Managers barely looked at the camera and was distracted the whole time while talking with me.

After that were 2 presentations: passion project and mock sales call

Everything went well until the mock sales call. I understood the prompt and did extensive research on the company and products beforehand. After 15 minutes or so they started asking questions that I'm not sure a candidate would know outside of taking their training program. It felt like they were trying to embarrass me. I self selected out and told them it wasn't a good fit.

My advice would be don't advertise for a sales rep if what you really want is a scientist.

Entretien

Initially just a phone screening with the Recruiter, then a phone interview with the hiring manager. After that, there was a phone screening with the hiring manager. After this, there was a virtual "panel" of interviewers (4 hours of back to back interviewing). The communication in scheduling all of this could have been better but all in all a good (yet arduous) process.
