      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Illumina (San Diego, CA) in Mar 2017

      Interview

      Straight forward process. I submitted my resume and cover letter online. I got a reply back 1 month later requesting a digital interview. The online interview had 7 questions. 1 question at a time with 2 mins prep and 3-5 mins to answer with unlimited retries. After the Digital interview, I received a response within 3 days.
