Pros

Good people to work with at the team level.

Cons

Deb has shown her real CEO colors by firing (or course they won't say that's what they did, but they did) 2 of the most solid product leaders the family history group has ever had. They were replaced a leader who lead the largest single product failure in Ancestry history. Glad to know nepotism in San Fran is alive and well.

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.
