Pros

I was fortunate to work with many amazing managers and leaders at Ancestry. Recently worked with their CPO and can tell you that she really cares about the people she works with and empowers teams to deliver impactful features to customers. Beyond leadership, everyone that works at Ancestry is very helpful and passionate about our product and customers.

Cons

Ancestry has gone through lots of leadership changes and product direction pivots that has slowed down innovation. The development teams also run very lean which is a bottleneck for product.
