Pros
Good campus, Food trucks, generally good coworkers, many vacation days , FTO is more cost savings than pro employees though, impacting human health
Cons
Previous reviewers have covered the poor pay. Will cover some deltas. Engr 1 at San Diego pays 85 k Illumina pays 65k Eng 2 is 100k illumina pays 85k Sr engineer is 120k at competitors Illumina is at 100k Staff is 160k at competitors Illumina pays 130k Sr staff is 180k at dexcom Illumina pays 155k Illumina bonus is not paid every year even if company makes record profit. It is only 10 percent at sr staff level. Other companies are in 15 to 20 percent. Illumina stock grant is better than pharma company but laughably low compared to tech and semiconductor companies. Illumina has said they will do salary adjustment from below median to median..which means people who are at median and underpaid will have to find jobs elsewhere. This is reflected in huge attrition with everyone looking for exit and the morale is down. Normal raise is 3 percent. Promotion is around 5 percent if ur median and 15 percent if you are underpaid already. You will still be underpaid.
