Pros

Overall, I'm really jazzed about this company. I was able to see it continuously improve over my time at the company with an increasing level of focus. The new perpsectives of the leadership that was brought in will push the company to get to the next level

Cons

Historically had been too much of a consensus-driven culture. Many people are values-focused without an understanding of what the values were or whether they were internally consistent Former employees were relatively entitled and cared more about the perks than making a difference for the sellers or for the company. Many have left and the capabilities of the ones that are remained are bringing up the bar.

Supportive Place to be

Pros

Etsy truly does take care of their employees. Wonderful, supportive environment. Etsy really does care about their core missions and beliefs. They are very flexible and understanding with needing to work from home, or when things come up in life. Etsy has a very social culture. They work hard to listen to employee feedback, adjust, and adapt to things happening in society. They are 100% supportive of employee's outside interests and passions. They find ways to include and promote everyone's unique talents and interests into the culture of the company.

Cons

There's a lot of actual work to be done-- burn out is something I feel more than I would like to. While hard work is recognized at times, career development is not too clear. It kind of feels like a "create your own path/job title" with not too much guidance. Lots of consistent change happens at Etsy, which can be both a pro and a con!

Pros

People here really care. They're smart, they are curious, they want to make things better for customers, sellers, the people at the company, and, as cheesy as it is to say, the world. You have a lot of freedom to work on projects your group finds important.

Cons

We have a great work life balance here which a small number of people take advantage of. Sometimes I wish we had a bit more high level direction from the executive team.
