Interview
Compared to other companies, this is a very lengthy process, 5 stages. Call with HR, Informal interview with team, formal interview with director x2 , with the final step being a presentation to the team.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ancestry
Interview
Had an initial screening with a recruiter then was moved on to a hiring manager interview. The hiring manager interview involved behaviorals and a very straight forward product sense case. I bombed the case but he was really nice about it. They followed up with a rejection email.

Interview
The worst experience I had during the interview process. I have been in the hiring process for almost 90 days. I have interviewed with almost 10 people on the company and spent almost 10 hours + only to get ghosted by the recruiter for weeks. This is such a disappointing experience. As a candidate, all you can think that recruiting team and company will atleast keep you in a loop and respect candidates time. However, I think no one cares about your time or interest.
