I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Ancestry (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2016
Interview
I applied online using smart recruiters and a recruiter scheduled for a telephonic screen. Had a brief call on my previous work experience and technical skills. She sent an online coding and asked me to complete within two days. Question was pretty simple and I was able to finish it well before time. However no one contacted me or updated me regarding the status. Tried emailing and called recruiter, but no luck. I guess it is a basic courtesy for a company/recruiter to update the results to the candidates, which was lacking. Disappointed !

Question 1
Basic string question with sub questions.
1. Read a file and count the words. had given how the output should be.
2. Get longest word which had same first and last letter from the words which was read from file.
The conversation went well and felt engaging. The candidate communicated ideas clearly, showed practical understanding of security concepts, and asked thoughtful questions. Overall, a positive interaction with strong potential for the role.
