Pros

Very open and friendly culture. Blamelessness is a core value. Lots of opportunity for shared learning. Actual commitments to sustainability, green energy, and community engagement. People will actually listen to you if you have ideas for new products. Phenomenal work/life balance. Basically, you feel good working at Etsy.

Cons

Upper management has vision, but communication seems to have gotten worse. Technical leadership is very hands off and doesn't provide enough guidance. Depending on your manager you may have to take your career into your own hands.

Pros

Some of the best people you’ll ever meet. The trauma bonds will keep you friends for life. Benefits are great but will keep you in a golden cuff situation for years past when it’s clearly time to leave for your mental health.

Cons

The most toxic environment i’ve ever seen in decades of working corporate. It’s game of thrones level politics behind the scenes. Upper Management is terrible and feeds into it all.
