      Software Engineering Manager Interview

      Feb 2, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Provo, UT
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Ancestry (Provo, UT) in Jan 2016

      Interview

      I was invited to come in to interview with several members of the team. I checked in at the front desk and at that time the secretary gave me a small gift for interviewing with the company making me feel welcome. I sat on a small sofa until someone came and got me for the interview. They started out the interview with a fun question with regards to solving a fun problem on the board. The interview process was a combination of getting to know me as a person and how I would fit in vs them asking me technology questions to see if I knew the code stack. The interview was lengthy and lasted for about 4 hours. I interviewed with a wide range of people such as ... "product owner", "two software engineering managers", "Software Directors", "chief architect of ancestry" and a few others. The interview was very smooth but my only complaints is I had to re explain myself as people came in to interview me.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They asked me a wide range of interview questions such as fun problems to solve, algorithms, tech stack questions, questions based on my personality and how I get along with others etc.
