Great on the Outside, a Hot Mess on the Inside - Manager Illumina Employee Review

Amazing industry doing good in the world, super smart and friendly people, what else can you ask for?

None, really. It’s a big company to it takes a bit to get to know process, etc but that’s to be expected.

Stuck with them for 7 years because it was good back then. Comp is good, benefits are good, and if you're on campus its a nice experience. If you find the right team it can be a dream, but the flipside can be awful. Overall they have a lack of direction in what is turning out to be a highly competitive market.

Corporate bureaucracy and internal politics are strong but could be worse. The benefits were better in the past and all the perks are winding down with time as they tighten the budgets and try hard to pivot away from dying segments
