Pros

When I started at Ancestry.com it was a fantastic place to work. Very competitive salaries, great working conditions, and really brilliant coworkers.

Cons

Something changed early on in 2014 and the entire company has become miserable. Salaries aren't as competitive as they used to be, senior management feed each others egos at an astounding rate, employee opinions on decisions large and small are only collected as a formality, and all the smartest people have been jumping ship at a rapid pace.

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.
