Pros

You get to meet some great colleagues. The location of the office is nice. You get free lunch once per week.

Cons

Management create a fake and toxic environment in Member Services. The CSAs are treated with very little respect and do not receive enough gratitude for what they do. The company has often filled management roles from within, meaning that some managers have little to no experience of managing people outside the Ancestry walls. Some MS managers that are hired externally have proven to be extremely detrimental to the office culture due to their bullying behaviour. There isn't really any room for proper progression outside of Member Services into the wider company, despite what you are told. Communication between departments is non-existent. The HR department is completely incompetent, which allows for power-tripping managers to get away with a lot. The shifts in Member Services are not flexible at all, despite what people are told when they are hired. This lack of flexibility causes a lot of problems with the work/life balance of employees.

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.
