      Old Ancestry is gone. New Ancestry is terrible

      Pros

      The people on my team and other teams are great!

      Cons

      Two words "Corporate Greed". Upper management only looks out for #1. They take all the glory and none of the blame. The real people that deserve props are the Architects, Devs and Ops teams that are actually making these big projects happen. All Upper management talks about are how their Executive retreats went while they were being wined and dined. Meanwhile back at Corporate some of us are working 80 hour weeks with ZERO additional compensation. They work you to the bone and expect you to be grateful that they are paying our salaries. In the last few years the culture has done a 180.

      Pros

      1. Work with a purpose: helping increase access to family history resources. 2. The best coworkers I've ever had. 3. Brand new building in Lehi, UT.

      Cons

      Within my department (Imaging) there were very few opportunities for advancement or full-time hours.

      Pros

      Lots of knowledgable people and great benefits! I feel valuable. I feel like people respect me and use my knowledge to benefit them and likewise I can lean on other people to glean off of their knowledge. For the first time in a long while I actually feel like I get to learn more everyday and help others learn at the same time!

      Cons

      No complaints from me so far.
