      Pros

      Decent benefits, perks such as sports and social and wellness app. Lots of nice people

      Cons

      You are not valued here. You will be expected to do far more than your share of work. You will be berated and micromanaged for not being able to stay on top of the workload. Lots of office politics with managers and if they don't like you they will make sure to push you out or make sure you can't succeed here.

      Pros

      They value your life outside of work

      Cons

      VERY old fashioned work environment. If you are the top guy, you’re the little guy. And what the top guy says goes, no ifs, ands, or buts.

      Pros

      The people at Ancestry strive to empower each other, which creates a fun and effective environment. You get help and don't need to feel ashamed to ask questions. The WLB is great too. As the company focuses on helping individuals and families, employees have the flexibility to care for their loved ones in time of need while being flexible with work. The benefits are great. Also, the company is very diverse, which allows for different perspectives and a lot of creativity.

      Cons

      Not many downsides at all.
