Pros

Ancestry is a great place to work. Pay is awesome. Lots of opportunity to learn new things and grow. Many of the other engineers are rock stars. Great work/life balance. For example, usually on days before holidays I'm chased out by my manager early.

Cons

Not really a con but most people think that Ancestry is owned by the LDS church so I get that a lot.

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.
