Pros

Illumina is a great place to start your career. There’s much to learn and everyone there is eager to help you learn.

Cons

It’s difficult to move up in your career and the pay is falling behind other biotechnology companies. As it’s becoming a large company, there is also a lot of politics that makes it difficult for progress and change.

Amazing industry doing good in the world, super smart and friendly people, what else can you ask for?

Cons

None, really. It’s a big company to it takes a bit to get to know process, etc but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Good campus, friendly coworkers, had a good mission once upon a time, lots of sports activities, chilled work life balance until rifs devastated the company.

Cons

Bottom barrel salary .... Pathetic to be honest. Extremely low base, poor bonus target that is not often paid and low RSU that company decided to take away from Sr. Manager and lower levels. Stay away from this place if you want a respectable compensation. Lots of cost cutting, ambitious projects staffed by less and less people, most people looking for the exit as morale is in doldrums
