Get to work on a really interesting and fun problem - helping people discover their past, and/or unlock the secrets of their DNA. Lots of smart and fun people. Cool new building.

Cons

Lots of change caused by private equity owners. Lackadaisical engineering culture. Career progression can be slow.
