I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Ancestry in Feb 2020
Interview
They first gave me an easy Python coding leetcode question about reversing strings. Then they asked about my relevant experience and had me walk through a data science modeling problem from end-to-end. It felt like a laid back and stress free interview.

It was a very laid back interview where we mostly discussed my experience on projects that I had previously worked on. The questions about my projects gave me the opportunity to indicate my knowledge level about certain topics
