      Great place to work

      Pros

      Great benefits, family oriented culture, challenging work, pretty well managed. There are plenty of opportunities to try new things. The two teams I've worked with have had a lot of autonomy.

      Cons

      I really cannot complain. I haven't worked with anyone I dislike. There was some politics involved with one team where a VP made a decision about which software we were supposed to use without the input of the team.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Impressive leadership team. Competitive pay and benefits. Generous PTO. Talented co-workers. Some opportunity for growth. Nice campus. Cross functional work environment was as smooth as I've encountered . Data sources were clean (can't be said for many companies). Catered lunches every other week.

      Cons

      The split offices between Provo and San Francisco adds a few challenges, but nothing too bad. Nothing really bad to say about Ancestry.com. An on-site cafeteria would be nice.
