      Full Stack Developer Interview

      Jul 11, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Ancestry (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2017

      Interview

      Start phone screen recruiter after that takes an online test using Hackerrank with 7 questions. If we passed, they will take care of traveling to onsite interview. The onsite interview talk with 4 people, 45 mins each. Involve with React, white boarding, database and backend, data structure, and 1 session for attitude conversation. I really love this company, everyone is very nice. Unfortunately, I failed onsite interview. I think because I don't have much experience with backend and database. The question is not difficult if you have real experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      - 1st question is easy algorithm. - 2nd is for read file and manage the data before write out the file for output. Both questions you can choose any language that you familiar with, for me I chose JS (Node.js). - 3rd question is query and join database. I cannot complete this one but almost. - 4th-7th, are about algorithm knowledge, like what the name of the algorithm, which one is better.
