I applied online. I interviewed at Illumina (Singapore)
Interview
You get an email invitation to do an initial 'interview' that involves you talking to no one else but your computer. This weird and highly impersonal initial screen is recorded, sent to them, and evaluated. If you make it through, you'll be invited for an onsite or bluejeans-based video interview with the staff. In my case, this interview was thorough but uneventful, and after that they basically ghosted me even though they said they'd get back to me in 2 weeks. They will ignore all emails from you henceforth. "Rude" does not even begin to describe this company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical and behavioural questions were asked. Standard lines of questioning.
In the technical round, I was asked to solve Java problems like star pattern printing, string manipulation, and logic-based tasks like checking even/odd numbers and parsing strings. One question was about accessing specific characters from the end of a string.
pre-recorded video interview. very complicated and nerve-racking. not good for those who are introverts and nervous in front of camera. I wish they had more guidelines or more practice opportunities.
