Location Flexible Culture
“Ancestry employee” is only one of the hats we wear. We have interests, hobbies, and commitments outside of work that help to complete our lives. To encourage participation in a variety of life-enriching activities, we adopted a Future of Work approach with flexibility at its foundation.
Our culture is not tied to our offices, it's rooted in our values, our people and our mission to empower journeys of personal discovery. Employees are offered choices in their work environment, including opportunities to work productively from home or connect with colleagues in person at one of our office locations.
