Ancestry onsite Prep
Recently got a confirmation from Ancestry for a onsite interview which consist of 5 rounds of 45 min each. The phone interview was technical interview. Anyone who has given interview or any recommendations of what should i study for these many rounds?. These were asked in phone: -Design Patterns -Previous Projects -TDD -Cloud Technologies ~2.5 Years of Experiance in the IT industry.
I interviewed with them. They gave me an offer and then went radio silent. Later on they said that they don't have a headcount for the job I interviewed for and didnt even have a headcount when I interviewed. The recruiter even said that not having headcount before interviewing happens often and tried to convince me that most other companies do it too. I would not waste a PTO on them. Especially when you're in GS
I am looking for a switch as I don’t have any learning experience here and really wish to change where I can grow in career. I am really sad to hear what companies do these days to keep their headcount of how many people they interviewed.
To be clear I have not experience this deception elsewhere. The recruiter just said other companies do that to make their unethical practices look normal, which is totally not and a blatant lie
