      Pros

      The product is so fun to work on. It is impactful and meaningful. People really care about what you work on.

      Cons

      The upper management shift has caused me to leave the company along with many others. They manage by fear, flaunting their resume, and ego rather than by any honorable characteristic. My first 2 years at Ancestry I would have recommended it to anyone. I cannot say the same now. I am much happier and feel much more valued at my new company.
