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?

Pros

The culture, vision, people, and actions of Etsy all help make business and the community a better place. All levels of employees at Etsy believe in the brand and vision. Etsy started in Brooklyn and stayed in Brooklyn, it has the toughness, fun, and heart that comes from being here.

Cons

Etsy still isn't a widely known company as a whole, also many people who have heard of us don't know what exactly we do. Many people don't know we are headquartered in Brooklyn.

Pros

Great people, great product. Top tech company to work for in NYC, so our staff is top notch. Good atmosphere, and a lot of flexibility.

Cons

Unfortunately, the stock has been having trouble since IPO and many are underwater on their options, which is not a good thing.
