I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Illumina (San Diego, CA) in Feb 2022
Interview
The interview process was good. I did an interview with HR and then an interview with the Hiring Manager. The questions were very general and mostly about my experience. I did not have all the desirable qualifications (manufacturing experience), which was something the manager mentioned was very important for them. They said they would let me know if I pass to the final round of interviews within two weeks and I never heard back from them again.

Starts with HR screening call, then moved on to hiring manager call, then moved on to virtual panel interview with 6 members of different teams, whole process took about a month

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Illumina
Interview
They asked for a video one way interview which was strange. Feels like the manager does not have the time or cares enough about the process to do the interview themselves.
Talent acquisition asked standard questions but couldn’t tell me much about the specifics of the team or role. Would imagine that would have been more of a hiring manager task.
