Love the product but no the people with power

Pros

- Decent benefit (unlimited pto) - Company paid 50% of food cost - You'll never get fired. manager will hint, you should look around other teams. - Nice new building - Decent holiday parties

Cons

- Too many people in the upper management who goes up the ladder for the wrong reason. It's all about the money and power. Not because they care for what they do. - There are guys at ancestry who will literally point fingers for no reason. And a lady who yells all the time over the phone and snaps at people but unfortunately as in the pros, they wont fire anyone! Can we be more professional at work? - Cafeteria food could be better and not so good variety - Too many different managers who give all the raises and bonuses to their favorites. - Never have lunch with CEO. All the does is look up at the clock every 5 mins while he is talking. - CTO loves to change up the org and re arrange your team. Apparently doesnt care too much for team dynamics.

Pros

Best word to describe work is: chill. I can come in anytime and leave anytime, work from home on Fridays, yoga on Tuesday and Thursday's, meditation and massages onsite, my teammates are all senior engineers so I'm learning a lot from them, catered meals on Mondays, tons of benefits (health, vision, $300 gift for transportation monthly), unlimited snacks, great salary : )

Cons

Needs more enthusiasm from workers
