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.

Pros

Gorgeous office Some of the best people you could hope to work with

Cons

Amazing company culture disappeared in recent layoffs/reorg So many at Director level and up got there as a result of circumstance above ability to perform at that level or any relevant subject matter expertise
