Profit over People

Pros

Some of the best coworkers I've ever had

Cons

Culture has completely gone down the drain. Tenured employees that are the heartbeat of the organization being let go with little to no warning, not to mention the disproportionate number of LGBT+ and people of color included in large scale layoffs. Top down management is totally lackluster, but Etsy brands itself as a place where people matter over profits and that's just not the case. DEI efforts are a total joke and are slowly and quietly being dissolved. Don't be fooled - this is just another tech company and HR will always protect the interests of the company, despite smiling in your face.

Pros

I had a very bad experience. Bonus is always lower than promised. Minimal refreshers. Not what they promised.

Cons

Constant fear of getting fired. Frequent layoffs. Micromanagement. Every week someone gets PIPed. Bad work life balance.

Pros

Remote work. Free food at HQ.

Cons

No vision, shows in their product-- lackluster leadership team, especially operations. A bunch of low performers who use "consensus driven" to do little. Shady management team in operations who will stab you in the back to protect their interests and shady practices. Semi racism in how they treat people
