Pros

The CSA's are great. That's about it.

Cons

Pros

Ancestry is excellent place to work. Your work is impactful. Your voice can be heard. There is room to grow. If you display that you've done your homework, dotted your Is and crossed your Ts your work is praised and remembered. Excellent benefits and solid work/life balance.

Cons

Growing pains by building out robust C-level management team. Employee seekers sometimes think it's an uber conservation company, it's not out of the SF office.
