I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ancestry (Lehi, UT) in Nov 2017
Interview
Human Resources were slow in responding to my application. However, once I received a response, I completed the hiring process very quickly, within a week. Under normal circumstances, a phone screening occurs, followed by a coding challenge, then finally an onsite interview. In my case, it was insisted to proceed straight to the onsite interview, skipping the coding challenge.

Question 1
- Several open-ended discussion regarding the overall architecture of a large, complex system from a software perspective.
- A separate open-ended discussion arguing for and against native development, vs hybrid framework, vs third party framework in order to build software.
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?

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.
