      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at Illumina

      Interview

      I applied through Career Center. There were two rounds of interview for 40 minutes total. I was asked typical behavioral questions and some questions about DNA and statistics. For future applicants, review some basic knowledge about DNA, such as what nucleotides are in DNA, what bonds are in DNA, and how one can denature DNA, and statistics, such as concepts of mean, standard deviation, median. Also, do not say anything that you are not completely familiar with since the interviewer will ask you to elaborate.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Describe mean to a 5 year old. What bonds are important in DNA? What is your ideal boss?

      I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Illumina

      Interview

      Had an on-campus interview through my university. Talked to two hiring managers for about 20 min each. A lot of stats and bio related questions in addition to behavioral questions. It was very technical for a first round interview, so be prepared for that. Make sure you know your basic stat concepts and bio concepts. Have examples for the behavioral questions ready.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What are reasons that a microscope image would be blurry? Draw an activation energy curve? Describe standard deviation to a five year old. What is the function of DNA?
