Pros

Cutting-edge in technology which also has purpose and meaning behind their product. The people of this company are the key ingredient to why people choose to stay here for long-term. Intelligent people who are humble and who care about the products they are behind and also care about everyone they also work with. It's an environment I walk into and am a part of where I feel a natural positive energy and that feeling alone is priceless!

Cons

I'm still new to the company, I only know the reasons I made the choice to join Ancestry, which have all proven to be true thus far. I'm still in my first month and haven't found any cons at this point

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.

Pros

The work-life balance is pretty good. I have never had issues taking time off when I needed to. The pay and benefits are on par with other, similar jobs in the area. There are many long-time employees at the company.

Cons

The company is product-led, so leadership is more concerned with shipping new features than they are with making sure what they have already shipped works well. Restricted stock unit grants always come with a one year vesting cliff, whether an employee has worked at the company for two years or twenty years. They do not appear to trust that long-time employees will continue to stay at the company, even though they have many long-time employees.
