Interview process was a multi-step process that involved phone interviews and in-person interviews. We were assessed on our capacity for teamwork and our interest in the company. The company was very helpful in answering all my questions during the interview process.

Question 1
How do you communicate negative results with someone.
Virtual interview, I didn't get to talk to a real person, had to record all of my answers with a time limit, it was a horrible process and there was very little human communication
The first step was an audio-only hirevue that allowed two attempts. After passing that, there were two video call interviews with team members for a total of around 90 minutes give or take.

Experience with teamwork, challenges, relevant experiences on resume.
I applied online. I interviewed at Illumina (San Diego, CA)

Weird video interview where they asked me "How would you explain to a 6-year-old why the sky is orange at sunset." The other question I don't remember but was equally strange for a 2-question video interview. It felt very impersonal.
