Interview

It started with a phone screen with the recruiter, she then sent me an online assessment to take. Next, I had a video interview with the manager, senior manager and another team member. They asked me a bunch of non-sense kindergarten questions and asked me if I have a portfolio or website. If I were to move on past this stage I would have had to present.

I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Ancestry in July 2020.

Interview

I had a recruiter call, a call with hiring manager, two phone screening and two onsite which included a talk. The interviews went well and the recruiter called me and said the feedback was positive. Then she asked me how much I earn in my current job which was a strange question to ask considering the ban on employment history questions. Then she tried to convince me to take a more junior role as the team. Then she offered me half of the compensation for a senior data scientist in Ancestry and told me I have to move to SF in middle of a pandemic although people are working from home! After I conveyed my information about the salaries and that I am not willing to take a junior position, she called and said the team is considering other candidates. I found the recruiter to be very unprofessional and the interview to be very time demanding.

Interview

Very responsive recruited and an educational process. There are many interviews in the overall process (they have 10s of thousands of applicants) but the team is enjoyable to talk to.
