Pros

Etsy cares about the well-being of its employees and its environmental/social impact and it's real. Very metrics driven so the best, impartial decisions are being made

Cons

Some of the old guard that wasn't let go are still incompetent at their jobs. Most of them have been replaced by more knowledgeable and experienced external hires though

Pros

Culture was a huge part of the reason people came and people stayed. There are amazing people who work at Etsy and the community you support is awesome.

Cons

Not everyone comes at solving a problem with community first. The company scrambles on understanding if it's a community based company or an ecommerce site. For certain departments, people move up because they are there, not because they are the most qualified. Decisions are made by people who don't understand small business and creatives.
