I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Ancestry (New York, NY)
Interview
The process is a standard three interviews, with two on the phone and the last part onsite. They usually present you to multiple teams position and tell you can choose the team you want to work, so you can fee like you are being accepted for multiple positions and you can choose. But in fact it is just a matter for them to decide which team you can fit and save time from another interview.
When you visit the Company on the last interview you will receive a discount voucher to subscribe their service and get your DNA test.
The last interview is more like a chat and kind of abstract. I didn't like it for a tech position. You dont have the chance to show what you know and it is not effective in my opinion.
The company looks to be looking for cheaper engineers I stead of quality and experienced engineers.
They make you feel like you are in, but didn't give a clear feedback on the outcome.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ancestry
Interview
Technical interview that discussed skills listed on my resume and some questions about my qualifications. Brief coding exercise that was fairly easy. Problem I had was the second interviewer was late and mean. Even though I had the correct answers to his questions, he was very condescending and in the end rejected me. No idea what his deal was, but definitely had a chip on his shoulder. Feel like not getting selected may have been better for me because who wants to work with a jerk?
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
non disclosure agreement was signed so I assume I can't say what they asked.
DO NOT WAIST YOUR TIME !!!!!
First call with recruiter to discuss the job and if it's good fit. Scheduled an hour interview with the hiring manager. Few JavaScript questions and discussion about the role. I passed that interview and got scheduled for virtual onsite. The time comes for my interview , I click on the link for zoom , I get invalid meeting ID. I emailed the recruiter who sent me the meeting invite , no response. I called the initial recruiter who approached me through hired.com . He told me my interview was cancelled and he was going to let me know when he gets back to office. I basically took the day off to prepare and be able to attend the 3 hrs interview and they did not let me know that it was cancelled. Worse interview process I ever had and worse recruited I ever worked with. Waisted my time and energy. Please do not fall for it and don't waist your time.
