Pros

Great benefits, flexible PTO, can make positive changes which doesn't seem to be typical of companies of this size. Interesting problems to solve with fun, smart people.

Cons

Some managers probably shouldn't be managers - this is certainly not a problem only at Ancestry but has tainted my experience. Can be hard to learn the Ancestry culture and "language" if you're coming from outside the company, but learning it is critical to doing a great job at your job.

Pros

Great company culture, supportive team, smooth onboarding process, strong career stability, and meaningful work. My interview experience was very positive, and the recruiting and onboarding teams were helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process.

Cons

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
