Pros

The company leaders (well their backers anyway) want revenue growth at any cost it seems. They focus on short-term growth without the distraction of quality employee experience.

Cons

As they pursue dna revenue, tech quality suffered. The leaders (who are mostly in SF) disparage "Utah HQ" and seek their own success over their employees.

Pros

The people here are top notch! Everyone strives for excellence. The benefits aren't too bad either.

Cons

While there has been some improvement, cross-functional communication and collaboration is still lacking.

Pros

I love working at a Company that is very customer focused. I also love that we have a mission statement that is front and center. It is clear executives buy into the mission and empower employees to make a difference. Ancestry supports employees with fantastic benefits and fair compensation.

Cons

Collaboration is a work in progress. Management talks a lot about increasing collaboration, but I have not seen it yet.
