free catered lunch once per week in SF

Svantaggi

Ancestry's management is horrible and obsessed with catchphrases that they haven't even considered the true meaning of- ex. "speed of innovation". If they knew what speed of innovation was, they wouldn't be years behind 23andMe in the rollout of DNA health products. The company is run as if engineers are just meaningless cogs in the machine which have no input into the products they develop. The company is very management heavy- the ratio of managers to engineers is strangely high. Also the pay is low compared with other companies in the area (SF).

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.

Vantaggi

The work-life balance is pretty good. I have never had issues taking time off when I needed to. The pay and benefits are on par with other, similar jobs in the area. There are many long-time employees at the company.

Svantaggi

The company is product-led, so leadership is more concerned with shipping new features than they are with making sure what they have already shipped works well. Restricted stock unit grants always come with a one year vesting cliff, whether an employee has worked at the company for two years or twenty years. They do not appear to trust that long-time employees will continue to stay at the company, even though they have many long-time employees.
