Pros: - Recruiter was really friendly, helpful with great communication through the process. - Very nice receptionist and waiting area upon arrival. - Beautiful building. Awesome cafeteria. Some real nice perks here. - They pay pretty well (I have some friends there). Many people have worked there a long time (until now it appears..). - There are very smart, competent people there. - Everyone seems like really like the new CEO (unfortunately not the other leadership though). Cons: Had a phone interview with someone who unfortunately seemed pretty burnt out and uninterested. They did invite me in for an in person interview with about 5-6 different people throughout the morning. They were nice. But here are the unfortunate things I observed. 1. Some of these interviewing employees seemed happy but some did not. It was obvious. 2. The underlying theme that I felt was going on was the ole top down discontent. It was clear that with the recent changes in leadership at ancestry that the product manager's frustration (and I could tell the reason various PMs have left and there are openings) is that they have been reduced to order takers and don't have the latitude to make data and research backed decisions. So even when what the customer wants seems clear, they are not able to go in that direction but need to just go down a path that the execs want them to go down. Seen it a million times. Not interested. They did not offer me a position but I would not have taken one if they did. Life's too short to spend it playing that game. 3. Kind of a big one but not one that I think many recognize actually... people don't really trust the product any longer (specifically the DNA test, not the family tree one). So the whole DNA test thing had a lot of attention and interest when it came out but it's dying pretty fast and the reason is that it's becoming clearer that it's a bit hokey. People are now discovering that they are not always accurate and/or even completely off so these tests (from all the companies, not just ancestry) have become more of just kind of a fun thing people do rather than something they take seriously. I think Ancestry even came out a few years ago with an announcement that they changed the algorithm or something that they use and it changed everybody's results so now all of the sudden their DNA changed. DNA doesn't change. So kinda hokey. But still fun for sure. But this realization has changed the market interest and you can feel the anxiety about this in their voices. You don't want to jump on board a place that's main product is losing interest. Also things like they tried to go public but it didn't quite work so they backed out. That's a sign. But I'd keep an eye on them. Great companies overcome these types of things and Ancestry very well may be able to do so.
