Pros

Great co workers, Good working hours

Cons

CEO doesn't seem to know what she's doing, which has caused the strategy to constantly shift. Leaders don't seem to be challenging her lack of focus, rather being complacent. Most of the talent at Ancestry is sub-par probably because there is no product roadmap and no real motivational leaders at the top, no diversity and lack of inclusivity. Most great talent has left in the last 6 months. No real growth or career opportunities in the years I've been here. Below average benefits and pay especially for Bay Area.
