Pros

The product is amazing! DNA and family history has done incredible things for its customers and it’s awesome stuff to work on.

Cons

The company culture has taken a real shift for the worse. Management clearly has their eyes on the value of their stock, not the employees not customers.

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.
