Admin - Anonymous employee Etsy Employee Review

A lot of lip service is paid to the motto "strong backs and open hearts". Yet a number of the managers are bullies and are quick to throw their people under the bus. A general lack of skilled managers leading departments, who do not understand how to do the tasks their subordinates are working on & therefore can't judge performance accurately. Department direction is kept a secret or not even thought out and constantly changes. Little to no room for career advancement and/or growth. Reviews and promotions are based completely on feelings, and not about productivity and professional contribution. Little to no room for upward mobility.
