      Great potential ruined by office politics, chaos and mind games

      Pros

      Fantastic benefits, stunning offices. Dog friendly office, most people were very nice

      Cons

      Constant chaos, massive blame culture. Politics and mind games in HR was the worst I have ever encountered in over 11 years of being in the workforce. Work life balance was a mixed bag. Some team members taking complete advantage of it whilst others were clearly suffering from stress as a result of not being allowed to log off without fear of being reprimanded. Unreasonable escalations seemed regular and very common . Values were not lived up to. In saying this , I saw this at the time as being down to huge confusion and a lack of cohesion within senior management

      Pros

      lots of people at Etsy are among the kindest i've ever met. the work leads to some interesting problems to solve, the office spaces are really nice, management tends to listen to buyers and sellers when they can. internal promotions are pretty common.

      Cons

      some perks have been recently cut back to cut costs. understandable, but still unfortunate. travel budget is tough for remote employees.

      Sad to see a company with so much potential turn into this.

      Pros

      Great benefits and work life balance. Smart, kind, incredibly talented colleagues. Once had a strong mission that made employees feel they were really helping small-business owners succeed. Beautiful office, amazing perks. Sabbaticals and parental leave!

      Cons

      Where do I begin. The re-orgs are endless. Constant chaos. Next to impossible to get anything done or move your career forward. Upper management is never willing to try new ideas or innovate because that costs money, so constantly lagging behind industry standards for customer experience and e-commerce best practices. No useful performance review system and non-competitive salaries (meaning, you have to leave to get a raise or promoted). Office politics are out of control and the corporate mind games have become the new norm. HR is a nightmare and will result in a lawsuit someday.
