Full of mediocrity - Director Etsy Employee Review

Thank you for your feedback. We agree wholeheartedly that our engineering culture is something very special and we’re glad that our focus on providing thorough benefits has been well-received. But we’re sorry to read some of these other comments. We’ve found that with our recent rapid growth, we needed to scale our employee base to maintain momentum. One of the departments receiving hiring support and attention is our HR group. We agree that in order to support so many people effectively, our HR team needs balance and access to resources. We’re committed to providing that and we’re already making strides. Competing with top organizations for talent, we do have some employees that have similar company experience. By following our consistent protocols for upward and cross-departmental mobility, we are careful to avoid any preferential treatment. We’re sorry if you felt differently in your time with us, but we can assure you that upward, merit-based mobility is an area we take great care in navigating.
