I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ancestry (Lehi, UT)
Interview
Started out with a preliminary interview over the phone, after which I had an over the phone interview with a group on individuals comprised of other engineers and a manager. After that it went to an on site interview in their office in Lehi. Getting the interview was very unorganized process with the Ancestry recruiters going back and forth, then forgetting me, then transferred to a different person since the original recruiter quit. All of this happening while they were completely reorganizing their engineering teams. Whole place seemed like a mess so I declined working for them.
