Pros

Some of the smartest colleagues I've worked with in my career. It's a transparent culture with a clear vision, and people who want to help others be successful.

Cons

Be ready for a fast paced environment, that adapts as necessary and have colleagues challenge the status quo in the spirit of always improving. If you're uncomfortable with change, it might not be the place for you.

Pros

Etsy offers a great work-life balance, which makes it easy to manage both personal and professional responsibilities.

Cons

Frequent reorganizations and yearly shifts in strategy make it hard to see projects through. Leadership often lacks experience, prioritizing speed over thoughtful decision-making. Communication is indirect, which can stall progress and limit opportunities for upward movement.
