      Senior Accountant Interview

      29 May 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Lehi, UT
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ancestry (Lehi, UT) in Apr 2018

      Interview

      Call from recruiter to vet you for the position before passing along. 2nd call was a phone interview, simple exchange relating to reasons for wanting to leave your current employer, discuss what you currently do, what you expect, etc. 3rd interview was in-person with three individuals, a senior accountant, someone in accounting management, and a controller. Probably little planning on their part as your start to feel like a broken record responding to the same questions from each of them over the course of an hour and a half. - Overall, nice and friendly people. - Something started to not feel right about the interview and I resolved in my mind as I said my goodbyes that if offered the position, I wouldn't accept. It was evident from leaving the interview and reading the many negative employee reviews (MANY in the past several months - sort by time posted) that the current working conditions were toxic.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell us about yourself. Why do you want to work here? Why do you want to leave your current employer? What do you like to do in your free time? Do you feel like you work well in a team? A lot of simple questions.
