Pros

Excellent benefits, good cause, creative community, Etsy school, beautiful work environment, free lunches (Eatsy), some opportunities for personal and professional growth.

Cons

Some teams are more dysfunctional than others. No matter what, you have to be an incredibly strong self-advocate and hyper-aware of office politics to get ahead. Sometimes it feels like you're competing too much with co-workers for recognition, which inevitably eats into your work/life balance because you feel like you always have to be over preforming to be on par.

Pros

cool culture flexible work arrangements, decent pay, cool work.

Cons

outsourcing everything they can, selling all they can for parts, its a sinking ship of a company. keep in mind that they spend more on labor in Mexico city than in USA! What a sham! should be taken off US Stock exchange for that! Loosing users at a steady rate year of year. I'd avoid. no growth opportunity. Not brand vision.
