Pros

Ancestry has weathered many storms and a fairly safe harbor to be in during economic downturn.

Cons

They refuse to adjust wages to even half of inflation and pay out massive dividends but won’t pay full bonuses or even close to inflation raises. When SLT is confronted with this they tell us our salaries are right at the 50% average for labor costs. The “refer someone to work here” company survey score is dropping like a lead balloon and they tell us work harder and we will be happier.

Pros

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.
