Process

The phone interview process to me was a joke!!! The interviewer did not ask any questions regarding my resume or background and why I am a good fit for the position. I was asked : How do you explain mean to a 5 year old?; and that was deterministic of how intelligent I am. Your experience and education does not mean crap to this company! Next time waste your own time Illumina!
