"The poster of this review is entitled to their opinion, but as the actual Director of Support at Etsy (now and at the time the review was written), I feel it's my responsibility to say that this is not my post."

Pros

Company values and culture are uniquely great. It's a very quirky place. Benefits are great too with a lot of time flexibility.

Cons

We used to be naive and not know what we're doing, but it was a lot of fun. Now we have too many ambitious careerists that are looking to coast, say no a lot, and don't know what they're doing. Party's over.

Pros

Great space and is a good place to build an online marketplace at scale.

Cons

The pitch is that the company is a "startup" with growth and promotional path. The reality is the company hired poorly, and is reeling from bureaucracy and ineffective managers. Etsy people are pretentious to the users, and some drank too much of the Kool-aid.
