      Pros

      Lots of employee engagement activities, great perks and some swag.

      Cons

      Customer service, phones, and some inconsistent or sparse internal communication. Less than perfect in your current role? Won't be considered for other positions.

      Pros

      The people at Ancestry strive to empower each other, which creates a fun and effective environment. You get help and don't need to feel ashamed to ask questions. The WLB is great too. As the company focuses on helping individuals and families, employees have the flexibility to care for their loved ones in time of need while being flexible with work. The benefits are great. Also, the company is very diverse, which allows for different perspectives and a lot of creativity.

      Cons

      Not many downsides at all.
