Pros

Good benefits; unlimited PTO; Modern office; Great people. Everybody is very nice here!

Cons

Lack of transparency: Not sure why we still focus on DNA not genealogy. Not enough growth: the work is not challenging. And we are conservative to be creative. Some team work way harder than the other teams and don’t get enough credits.

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.
