I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Illumina (Singapore) in Jul 2020
Interview
HR phone interview first, recruiter is friendly and will ask some behavior questions, introduce company and position you have applied for.
Then there was a coding assessment to select and implement a project from a list of 10, they didn't mention their expectations and put easier or harder option and let you pick one. Even though I completed a project within the timeframe they asked, still got no chance to have an actual interview.
Assessment is not hard, however make sure the expectations are clearer and don't make interviewee to guess.

Question 1
Please introduce yourself, and what do you know about Illumina
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
