I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Ancestry (Lehi, UT) in Aug 2016
Interview
5 or 6 painfully redundant phone screens.
After the first 2, they told me they wanted me to fly out for an onsite. The next week, however, they told me I needed to do 2 more, 1-hour phone screens. Then a few more. Every one went exceptionally well.
During the process, the recruiter missed 2 appointments. Forgot to tell me about another phone screen and we repeated MIA when I asked for updates on the process.
All this, and I get a form rejection email. I feel like they owe me more than that. Some meaningful feedback is all I ask. Instead I get rejection.
This process is broken and Ancestry.com is just perpetuating the problems. No clue and no insight to change.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ancestry (Indian Wells, CA) in Jul 2021
Interview
I first had a screening interview with the recruiter, then a 2nd interview with the hiring manager. 3rd interview was to give a presentation of previous product owned to a group of individuals who represented cross-functional teams. Followed by interviews with other PMs, software development managers and a software engineer.
