Reviews about "work life balance"
Return to all Reviews- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
A great place to work for software engineers. A good work and life balance. Engineers have close relationship with the product team and have chances to give them feedback on the user experience. A great office looking over AT&T ballpark and the downtown. A lot of perks, a good life and work balance, family oriented culture
Cons
Hiring standards vary from team to team. More standardized approach is needed to keep the high bars

Great place to work!
Jan 29, 2019 - Software Engineer in Lehi, UTRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
- Great pay and benefits - Good work / life balance - Leadership is progressive about technology - Make a real difference in customers' lives
Cons
- Coordination / communication between teams is a constant challenge. Meetings are often longer than they probably need to be - Tendency to silo developers into one project for a while - Management tends implement big organizational changes a bit too often
- Current Employee★★★★★
So happy I joined the Ancestry family!
Jun 13, 2018 - Anonymous EmployeeRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
I recently joined Ancestry and the culture and company are even better than I imagined. With a new CEO, the company is focused and passionate about our mission and vision! The work/life balance promotes employee engagement and makes me excited to come to work everyday.
Cons
Why didn't I know about this great company sooner?! :)
- Former Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
A good company
Mar 5, 2022 - Principal Software Engineer in Lehi, UTRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Great benefits, awesome building (cafeteria, gym), technical expertise of average engineer is above average
Cons
- Senior management is out of touch with typical employee concerns. - Pager duty (taking turns being on call 24/7). So annoying and disruptive to work/life balance.

Pros
Exciting technology and opportunities for technical growth while contributing to meaningful solutions that really do change people's lives. Multiple technologies and platforms are embraced to form an ecosystem of services. A great emphasis is placed on agile and technical progress is consistent without overburdening staff resulting in a very good work/life balance.
Cons
The PTO grants could be more generous. Management could be less clique driven and more management oriented. Much of middle level management has risen from the ranks and has no real ability to manage or communicate. Upper management does not seem to notice this and does not appear to offer any means for these inexperienced managers, who often do no managing at all, to improve by any observable means.
