Pros

Very remote friendly, excellent product, purpose driven work

Cons

Current CEO is an out of touch CFO that is aligned completely and only to our current PE ownership. He lives to help them extract as much wealth from Ancestry as possible before another sale. I am a primary source and can confirm every personnel decision is made with cost cutting in mind. No merit, lower bonus pay out, increased employee benefit contributions, cut benefit options, office closures, silent RIFs, removing equity from the rank and file...the beatings will continue until morale improves.

Great company culture, supportive team, smooth onboarding process, strong career stability, and meaningful work. My interview experience was very positive, and the recruiting and onboarding teams were helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process.

Cons

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
