Ancestry *was* a fantastic place to work. Great work/life balance, product growth and innovation. That has changed.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Knowing the product. Knowing the user. Respecting the employees. Being honest & transparent. Read: tell the truth.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Curiosity, desire to learn & connect with the user, and in addition to being talented, generally being good people.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Everyone loves the product & wants to make it the best product out there. People are kind and teams are close knit.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Leadership lacks the EQ to run a company. They have a very limited understanding of the product, the user, and are easily distracted by shiny things instead of working towards a cohesive vision. Improvement: hire new leadership who actually understand what innovation needs in order to flouish.
