      Pros

      Etsy was an amazing magical place with a fantastic culture. It promoted creativity, entrepreneurship, and community. The people were super talented and would all pitch in at the drop of a hat to make things happen, no one was above pitching in.

      Cons

      Then Wall street arrived. Leadership cut 200+ jobs to make the bottom line attractive for investors. Lots of amazing talent left, people are now over worked, the place resembles a wake with the funeral soon to follow.

      Not what I expected

      Pros

      Pretty good benefits. Culture has a very mature attitude about failure and human error. Interesting scale.

      Cons

      "Startup-like" culture is in the process of being erased, due largely to recent switch to publicly-traded status. Lots of layoffs. Constant priority inversion on all teams. Leadership unable to give a sense of direction.

      An exciting time to be part of Etsy

      Pros

      Etsy is in a great period of transition. While that has been difficult for many people who have been at Etsy for a long time, personally, I'm excited and invigorated by the change in strategy and in leadership. It feels like Etsy finally knows what it's doing and where it needs to go. I think it's matured while still keeping those Etsy "weird" things that everyone loves. As other reviews have mentioned, we have great benefits, a great office, and kind people to work around.

      Cons

      Frankly, some of the cons have more to do with the current staff that is so unhappy at Etsy. It's depressing to see people be so vocal about their distaste with the company. Etsy hasn't lost anything. One could argue that it's finally found themselves. Some of the attrition has been disappointing and...dramatic?
