Pros

There was a lot of change over the last year. While it took some time for people to adjust, I truly believe there is a lot more optimism and opportunities for growth for those who stayed. There is incredible talent here!

Cons

With the change, it's been challenging to navigate individual roles and responsibilities. Hopefully that will become more clear in 2018.

Pros

- Great place to work as a marginalized person - Since the 2017 layoffs and refocus, people work at a faster pace and focus more on iteration - Good benefits and perks including weekly free lunch and daily snacks - Best office I've ever worked in - The HQ isn't in Manhattan - Remote friendly, working from home is encouraged - Great and interesting challenges - Working on a marketplace that encourages people to be creative and gives artists a way to live while doing what they enjoy - Good growth and learning opportunities

Cons

- Change is hard and some people are definitely a bit salty - Your experience can depend on the team, but things are getting more standardized which is nice - The attrition was tough post-layoffs, but has vastly improved - Sentiment amongst Etsy sellers can be demoralizing, but the company is listening to them and things are getting better
