The initial HR screen focused first on skills (positive!), but then quickly moved into a discussion of salary expectations. HR insisted on obtaining details from me about salary but would not/could not answer basic questions about the job, company structure, etc. HR told me I would go to the next step, but they refused to honor the next appointment presumably because I wanted to know more about the job before stating a range I would be comfortable with. HR not truthful. Very negative feeling about the company.

This occurred at the Singapore branch of Illumina. They were seeking a scientist specifically for material characterization and with experience with thermogravimetric analysis. The interview was conducted online with 3 - 4 members with the hiring manager attending online. Despite answering their questions, they appeared disinterested throughout the whole interview session and seem to be reading questions off a binder. After the interview, I realized they updated their LinkedIn job description to include more details and notably, they required an "experienced" scientist which wasn't present previously.
