Got a call from HR for a phone interview opportunity. Scheduled for about a week later.
A hiring manager called and asked some questions about previous experiences listed on the resume. Then began asking odd/basic level questions most likely to determine a fundamental understanding of the qualifications listed on resume; these questions were not very indicative of technical ability though and were very obviously picked or prepared from a list by HR.
How would you explain what an average is to a 5 year old without using mathematical terminology?
The following metrics were computed from 4 interview experiences for the Illumina Product Engineer role.
Illumina's interview process for their Product Engineer roles is extremely selective, failing the vast majority of engineers.
Candidates reported having very good feelings for Illumina's Product Engineer interview process.
