I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ancestry (Provo, UT) in May 2015
Interview
In person interview with hiring manager and their manager in the Provo office. They asked very general questions about my experience, my previous positions, and where I saw myself going in the future. It was very basic and not too difficult. The managers seemed a little out of it, so it was hard to gauge their interest in my or my background. Ultimately, I told the recruiter I wasn't interested in the position and never heard back from them.
