      Change is Hard, but for the Best

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      --Excellent benefits, beautiful office --If you're willing to work, you are generally rewarded --Previous leadership (since laid off) was probably more values aligned, but their vision for the company wasn't getting it done, and new leadership has recognized that and adjusted accordingly.

      Cons

      --Getting the comp you deserve can often come down to a manager going to bat for you. HR is generally well-intentioned in this department, but kind of useless. --The Kool-Aid Drinkers of the "old Etsy" are still around (and still leaving nasty reviews here) and they're unwillingness to accept the changes manifests itself in sometimes mediocre work and dumb things like petitions .

      Culture shifting for the better

      Pros

      Etsy has a great mission. People genuinely care about each other. The company attracts a strong and exceptionally diverse talent pool of junior engineers. It is still a surprisingly small team, so it's possible to make an impact.

      Cons

      It's time to get serious. The engineering org is far behind other companies of its size. There are few senior engineers with experience from outside Etsy. Low-quality work abounds, but is never acknowledged. This does a disservice to both the business and the individuals. Management infighting certainly does not help.
