I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Illumina
Interview
I was referred to the position. It took a long while to schedule the on-site, HR department was very slow. On-site consists of a presentation that you do in front of the whole team talking about your previous experience. Some extra work required from your side, but it is actually a good way to talk about it just once, not with every interviewer. The rest of the day is two-on-one interviews. Lunch was more like an interview actually, I didn't have much time to eat. After the on-site interview you may expect a short home work that takes 4-6 hours to complete.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
External sorting, parentheses correctness, Java-specific questions and general CS questions. Nothing hard or domain-specific (at least in my case)
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.
Interview questions [1]
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
