Pros

*Remote/hybrid work options *Free lunch Wednesdays *Holiday break at Christmastime *Great people to work with, for the most part *Company mission is very positive and impactful

Cons

Certain individuals are creating a toxic work environment and I'm seriously looking at leaving, which is sad, because it's only a couple people. It's incredible how much one or two people can impact your work. I love Ancestry, but coming to work lately has been really hard. People should be allowed to make mistakes without being treated like criminals. I hate interacting with people who seem to be looking for reasons to find fault.
