Pros
There is a great amount of technology and freedom to learn at Ancestry. They have lots of untapped resources and give you the freedom to make them better. Hard to find a better/easier environment to learn. Benefits are better than most, but average for tech companies. As-needed PTO and potential to work from home. Company does well in-spite of itself.
Cons
Recognition both pay and company wide is a bit lacking. If you stay at Ancestry long enough you'll see the same initiatives with new code names come up roughly every 3 years. Benefits have taken a down-ward turn (although still better than other places). To move up, you often need to leave the company and come back. Management hires too often come from outside the company.
