Pros

If you want meaningful work that truly and positively impacts the direction of people's lives and their relationships with loved ones, Ancestry is an option you should consider for employement. Add to this that they are largest consumer genomics company, leading the creation and growth of a new and exciting market.

Cons

Company struggles to define a clear mission, vision, and operating values. With new leadership on board they seem to be making headway towards this. It will improve the speed of innovation at the company to have everyone aligned with where we want to go so we're not spinning circles on undefined or conflicting priorities.
