Pros

Great benefits, unlimited sick days, flexible working schedule. Generally, management is friendly and available if you have any issues. Its also nice to be a part of a well known company.

Cons

The culture is totally contrived, so there isn't a ton of room for diversity. Little to no racial diversity (as with most tech companies) and this doesn't look like it'll change anytime soon. Management is overly concerned with work "culture" and ends up hiring people who can't do the work just because they're a good cultural fit. Would be great to spend less time talking about composting (if you get what I mean) and more time looking at ways to further develop certain orgs so that employees can have more fulfilling jobs. Often it feels like you're on a hamster wheel, with little room to experiment.

Great team! Everyone is so friendly

Cons

Barely any. I do wish the feedback was a little more direct.

Pros

People are interesting, helpful and kind. I've worked at incredibly toxic, mean-spirited places before and working at Etsy is the exact opposite in the best way possible. Amazingly, people are hard-working, creative, fun and nice all at the same time. Depending on your department, the workload can get stressful, but it's so worth it.

Cons

Because everyone is so incredibly nice, they may be less inclined to tell you like it is, unless you ask for direct feedback (again, depending on your department). Aside from that it's tough to find a lot of cons.
