Ancestry reviews

Lots of knowledgable people and great benefits! I feel valuable. I feel like people respect me and use my knowledge to benefit them and likewise I can lean on other people to glean off of their knowledge. For the first time in a long while I actually feel like I get to learn more everyday and help others learn at the same time!

Margo joined the company recently as the CEO and within her first 2 weeks was able to sense that things were a bit tense. Since that time, she has been meeting with groups of employees to gather feedback on their experiences and why there is so much dissatisfaction. She is working on a plan, with the rest of leadership, to work towards regaining employee trust and bringing back a culture that makes people want to stick around. Ancestry is currently reviewing all employees, including contributions, skills, performance, as well as pay. The rumor is that they are looking to increase pay to be competitive with other companies in the same area, in the hopes that people will stop leaving for other employment opportunities. I fear this may be too little, too late however. The services that Ancestry provides are invaluable and have changed many lives, we constantly hear stories from grateful customers. This is why I have stayed on for so long and why I'd previously planned to stay indefinitely - that now depends on how leadership decides to address the current state of the employees.
