I applied online. I interviewed at Illumina (New York, NY)
Interview
First, there was a digital interview where I was asked normal behavioral questions. Next, I moved on to a phone interview with one of the hiring managers. He was a software engineer, but he mostly deals with high-level design and architecture for the projects his team works on. I mostly spoke with him and asked questions. He only asked me two questions at the end. What was my availability and what is my strongest programming language? I am still in the process at the moment.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Illumina? and What makes you better than other candidates?
It starts with HR review, then a video interview. The video interview will start with questions about the resume. Then, they asked a question from Leetcode via Leetcode. It was a two-sum problem.

Question 1
Solve a 2-sum problem. It is the typical 2-sum problem directly from Leetcode.
Easy process, very simple phone screen followed by a algo / data structures technical round. I would say to just focus on getting better at leetcode, and to not sweat it too much.
focus on technical, no much behavior question. need to match job description, whole day interview with 5/6 interview panel. lunch provided, and onsite interview. remote allowed but prefer to be onsite
