From what I can tell, Novo Nordisk (9,000 employees), Merck (~6,000 employees), Bayer, BMS, Novartis, and Pfizer have all announced major layoffs. Should we anticipate a similar announcement from Illumina soon, or is it more likely in Q4?

There was a time when only underperformers were at risk, but that’s long gone. You can get a pat on the back today and be cut tomorrow. It’s stressful to always wonder if you’ll be next, and it makes showing loyalty feel pointless. Hopefully, the job... — read more 

I handed in my resignation, and I can’t stop wishing I had done it differently. I wanted to get out as fast as possible, but I didn’t do my due diligence, and now I’m in a far-from-ideal position. Looking back, I think I would have waited for a... — read more

The cringiest corporate display I have ever seen.

Hi all, It's really cool that we can all share information anonymously here but it bothers me that this is totally public. I think that it makes sense to move these important and sensitive conversations to a place where only Illumina employees have... — read more 

Ignore Ipulse, let's tell them what we think here, no holding back.

They know they will score even lower than in March if they come out with the mandatory RTO policy! Watch out!

Boycott this useless survey like 35% of the employees did in March. Let’s beat that number! Don’t think your opinion matters these days! Don’t take it.

I used to enjoy the teamwork here, but now, everyone is competing just to block each other. It’s hard to focus when it seems like sabotage and bullying are not only accepted, but even encouraged. I can't believe how much the culture has shifted in... — read more 

Has there been anything new?

The biggest problem here is that leadership never shares what’s happening. It feels like they don’t trust anyone and keep decisions behind closed doors. This lack of openness has created frustration and mistakes, and honestly it’s the culture that’s... — read more

RSUs really gone for good? Did Jacob actually say we’re doing away with them permanently as part of comp? WTF. If there was ever any doubt ILMN is a coffin, this nails it shut. From here on out you’re expected to take below-market comp for the... — read more 

Did Jacob just accepted that Roche is a serious competitor? Never seen he accept or agree about a competitor before and losing train of thought and not looking confident is not good. Does Roche have something that’s really a threat to Illumina? He... — read more 

More layoffs? Has it been confirmed?

Teams used to have a mix of younger, mid, and older employees, but now it’s mostly 20-somethings with maybe one older person. When somebody claims that people are not being laid off due to their age, this is the first thing that comes to my mind. Or... — read more 

Pivoting to India for cheap labour my team is almost entirely India based now so I’m now feeling somewhat marginalised. There is a presentation shortly and in our team org chart line manager deliberately left me out of the chart, saying that as this... — read more 

Upper management has way too many chiefs and number crunchers constantly trying to outdo each other. It slows everything down and makes real work harder to get done.

Also, are we still on August 13th as the day?

We went from occasional layoffs to constant layoffs so fast, most of us are still feeling whiplash. When will we get back to being able to relax between rounds and not worry 24/7 if this week will be the one where I lose my job?

Any new information about the rumors of an Aug 13th date?

Even if I ignore the fact how pi---d off I am knowing that and planning my exit right now, I'm wondering how is that even possible? I thought we were laying people off to hire cheaper replacements. Hiring people who make even more makes no sense. At... — read more

Can someone please help me understand the earnings call? It didnt seem that positive to me but then Jacob's email made me feel like we were doing well?

This company doesn't deserve more from us.

One of the most thoughtful, well regarded, strategic, and earnest VPs was abruptly terminated this week. No clear explanation. This does so much to damage morale and trust in leadership.

I have been working here for the past 2 years, specifically in manufacturing (engineer). I am starting to hear some noise on the next round of layoffs. any thoughts?

Long story short is I received a pretty good job offer, its a raise compared to my current role and the team I would be joining seemed great through my interview process. The question is: to take it or not? I see a lot of negativity going around... — read more
