      Pros

      It's fun. Everyone here is friendly and works together, even across teams. Benefits and good and there are some nice perks.

      Cons

      The bottom line is always being considered. Sometimes, form beats function. Not many opportunities for growth within departments.

      Pros

      Great benefits, awesome people to work with. Ancestry has a great work/life balance. Ancestry is a very forward thinking company that does a lot to retain good employees. I love working here and would turn down a similar position at a different company.

      Cons

      I have no complaints. I have never once had an issue that I was not able to resolve or address just by talking to the appropriate person or department.

      Pros

      Ancestry is very good at communicating business strategies to all parts of the organization. Managers are encourage career development, encouraging attendance for cross-department meetings and lunch-and-learns with guest speakers. The SF atmosphere is very friendly and there is a good work-life balance.

      Cons

      No major cons that I can think of.
