I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ancestry in Feb 2015
Interview
I did the phone interview, a small MVC project that I had to discuss with the team later presenting why I did some choices and the final Interview. I was very nervous so the last interview in video conference didn't go very well. Even the question were a bit no sense, in my opinion, for evaluating real skills of a person.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Say one time you had to convince other people that your choice was better than theirs.
The conversation went well and felt engaging. The candidate communicated ideas clearly, showed practical understanding of security concepts, and asked thoughtful questions. Overall, a positive interaction with strong potential for the role.
