I applied online and got an email a few weeks later to complete a digital interview. You have to record a video of yourself answering a few questions that appear on the screen. You have 2 minutes to prepare and 3 minutes to record your answer. I don't really like this process since I don't like recording myself on video. If you like recording yourself on video, then it shouldn't be a problem.

For me, it was a very embarrassing experience. You can't redo it either. Once you are done recording, that is the only chance you get. You can practice a few times before you start the actual interview. The practice questions are different than the ones you get for the real interview. The questions I got had nothing to do with the job I was applying for.

It was mostly behavioral questions. If they are going to do a phone interview and an onsite interview afterwards like others have mentioned here, then I don't think the video is necessary. It makes the interview process really long and drawn out.

Why do you want to work at Illumina?
