      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ancestry in Jan 2016

      Interview

      Firstly, the manager contacted me and talked around 20 minutes about my background (check resume). After that, I took code interview. It took about one hour. In the next week, I took Machine Learning interview. Generally, I was asked about my previous experiences/projects. And Several machine learning questions were put forward. The manager and interviewers are very good. I would like to say this is a very pleasant interview! And I enjoy it!
