Question 1
why part of the image is blurry- what is difference in heat and high PH in DNA denaturation methods
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Illumina (San Diego, CA)
Interview
1. Initial phone interview with HR rep and hiring manager and sometimes additional team member 2. On-site interview or second phone interview with multiple team members and project members, HR and hiring manager
Phone interview with recruiter, than "virtual onsite" panel interview with breakouts ~6hrs. That was pretty much it. Then never heard anything back from the recruiter. Ghosted, so cold. Why is there a 30 word minimum here? I am just typing randomly at this point..
The overall interview process was smooth with good communication. The interviewers were very polite and tried to make the interviewee feel relaxed all the time.
The recruiter provided detailed information about my questions with quick responses.
