      Java Software Engineer Interview

      25 Mar 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ancestry in Feb 2016

      Interview

      I applied online. First, had a conversation with the recruiter. A week later, had a technical phone interview. The interviewer asked very simple questions and I felt that he wasn't much interested. I followed up a week later but didn't get a reply. Then after another week, another recruiter and the person who took my technical phone interview reached out through mail. They asked if I'm still interested in the position so that they can arrange an onsite interview? I replied yes. After that, no response from them. Then three weeks later, got a standard rejection mail. Found the whole interview process quite broken and without any coordination.
