Not a wise employment decision

Pros

Kind people overall who care about the work they produce and those they work with. Empathy is a strong quality across employees at Etsy.

Cons

Poor leadership - young inexperienced ICs are often promoted into leadership roles for which they are not qualified. Growth is very limited under weak leadership. Poor decision making - decisions take a long time to be made and communication of changes is weak. There is often confusion around proper process or a backpedaling of the decision. Overall, a lack of qualified and competent leaderships has created a culture of “personality hires” that stunts real progress and the growth of hungry, motivated employees. Layoffs due to poor company performance and dwindling sales revenue

Toxic

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.
