      You quit bad managers, not bad companies.

      Pros

      Working at Etsy is incredible. There is nonstop momentum, and you work for a company that ultimately does good in the world. The BK HQ is lovely, the food and atmosphere is inspiring.

      Cons

      Managers aren't always held accountable for people management - more emphasis on project management.

      Pros

      These one star ratings are silly. The truth is, Josh Silverman has articulated a vision and created focus like I've never seen before. Most employees are generous, helpful, and fun to be around. The company is still committed to having a positive impact on the world.

      Cons

      Everyone is waiting to see whether Etsy is still a good place to grow a career or if it will slowly but surely burn through its experienced workforce. Don't expect training for new skills and don't expect to go to a conference without a fight. Middle management is a mixed bag. Some are toxic and abusive. Others are fine.

      Great culture with weak management that can't move the needle.

      Pros

      A lot of the great old timers have left but the culture is fun and you get responsibility.

      Cons

      Indecisive management that treats employees like cogs. Tons of bureaucracy leading to slowness and lack of empowerment.
