      Pros

      They treat their employee's well. The salaried positions seem to have it better, the hourly is getting better. Great benefits, gym reimbursements, wellness program, LOTS of PTO and holiday pay.

      Cons

      I worked in a department where there wasn't much room for growth, hence finding employment elsewhere. I was also about to cap out on my pay increase, could have applied within a different department, but chose to look elsewhere for other reasons not pertaining to the company.

      Pros

      Ancestry has a very cool product that is easy to love. The company seems to do well even in recessions.

      Cons

      The company still operates like a start up in some ways. Things are a little loose and the internal systems of the company do not work together as well as they should.

      Pros

      It is great to be a part of Ancestry's mission to help everyone discover, preserve and share their family history. Great people to work with and competitive benefits.

      Cons

      Upper management could do a better job with transparency and implementing feedback from employees, but this is true with most companies.
