Pros
Kind people overall who care about the work they produce and those they work with. Empathy is a strong quality across employees at Etsy.
Cons
Poor leadership - young inexperienced ICs are often promoted into leadership roles for which they are not qualified. Growth is very limited under weak leadership. Poor decision making - decisions take a long time to be made and communication of changes is weak. There is often confusion around proper process or a backpedaling of the decision. Overall, a lack of qualified and competent leaderships has created a culture of “personality hires” that stunts real progress and the growth of hungry, motivated employees. Layoffs due to poor company performance and dwindling sales revenue
