I applied online. I interviewed at Illumina (Foster City, CA) in Jun 2018
Interview
TLDR; was invited to an onsite interview that was never scheduled. jumped through hoops to contact HR who claimed they "forgot" to reply to me and that the position was filled.
Was invited for a phone screen with HR 2 months after I submitted my application. Took and passed the first screen and was invited to a phone call with the hiring manager soon after. I completed the second phone call and a few days later I was notified I passed. I was asked to provide my availability for an on-site interview over the next two weeks. I replied promptly. Two weeks went by without any reply. I followed up with an email to the HR; no reply. I called and asked to be forwarded to the HR rep I spoke to and was asked to email a candidate service email. I finally received an email from the HR person that was my contact. Was notified that the position had been filled and that he/she "forgot" to let me know. Very unprofessional.
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
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
explain a time you dealt with conflict and steps you took to solve it
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.
