Ancestry Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Shares/stock options are decent and go up in value quickly. Only issue is as a privately owned company you can't cash out unless there is a liquidity event which are infrequent

The long term equity potential

Health Insurance, working remotely, and PTO.

Base salary is great and RSUs especially the company will go IPO soon

Review from Engineering Dept

It's fair and makes me feel valued.

Review from Marketing Dept

you will never be low balled on an offer. Ancestry's offers usually come in on the high end of market pay.

There's a good 401-K for a beginner like me

Unlimited PTO

Review from Engineering Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Health insurance offered is high deductible.

CFO and leadership say you should be loyal, what we do is important. They have major stock and bonuses but tell those underneath to feel privileged to work here. Discredit others that pay and reward as not being good companies. We target top talent but mid to low market stock....compensation.

Review from Engineering Dept

Compensation is low compared to the market and the company knows this and has no plans to change it.

Lower than average market base pay, terrible equity compensation, benefits sub par

The company keeps trying, but continues to fail at paying market rate.

Ancestry openly admits they wish to pay in the middle of our competition.
