I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Illumina (Singapore) in Mar 2022
Interview
It was good, the interviewers were friendly and asked some technical questions regarding the role. It was an easy process, and the interviewers were interested in how I am as a person rather than my academics, which is a good way to gauge if someone is up for a job.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Illumina (San Diego, CA) in Oct 2025
Interview
Had a phone screening, just asking if i wanted the job or was still ready, then technical interview. He had a presentation asking me questiosn relating to mechanical engineering, which I did ok on. I got rejected.
