This is a company with great benefits but no room for growth

Pros

There was a lot of support at Etsy. The benefits were amazing. My 5 years there I felt that I could be open with my work and the benefits and issues that came along with it. I worked with great partners and teams over my 5 years.

Cons

The age old tale at Etsy was that it was able to find someone like myself who had been in the same position for a few years and had never received a promotion. Despite having good review after good review, nothing I did to take on more work ever helped shift a promotion to my direction. Which was already tough because in my 5 years there I had 6 different managers one of them twice, which equals a manager shuffle 7 times. Not only that, but there was never any real direction with where to take my position. Every time I tried to move forward I was told to take a step back because they had no idea where to put me or what to make of my role as it was growing. Also, the benefits are great, but they are also a distraction from the poor pay imbalances within the company.

Thank you for this feedback. We’re glad that what you experience in the way of benefits, openness, and camaraderie were what you had hoped for, but we’re sorry to learn about some of your other experiences. We hear you in this feedback around upward and internal mobility, and it has been a key area of focus for our leaders. We have amped up employee development by investing in tooling and professional development budgets. For management, we’ve invested in enhanced iterations of online management training and development, inclusive even of content focusing on emotional intelligence and conversation foundations. There is still room for improvement and we’ll continue to devote resources toward this.
