      Java Services Developer Interview

      Feb 1, 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ancestry

      Interview

      Applied online through the career website. I got an email from the HR to schedule a 30 minutes interview with the director of the department. Director asked me some general questions about relocation and about my experience. After the director's call, I got an email to schedule a technical interview with the Senior Software Engineer. Technical questions were mostly based on core java. Interview went good, but the Senior Software Engineer said me that they are not looking for an entry-level candidates and I was the first entry-level candidate to take the interview. They said he is not sure if the company will consider me because I am just a recent grad. If they were not sure, why the hell they took my technical interview? I felt like I just wasted my time here.
