Pros
And it's not even close. Imagine working for a company where guiding principles and mission statements aren't just empty words. They actually mean something, and people try their best to follow them. The company shows that it values its employees by providing a clean and well-maintained workspace with food, coffee, beer, and kombucha; transparent and clear communication from the executives during ; and a whole host of excellent benefits including good health insurance, a good amount of vacation time, unlimited sick/mental health days, and in many cases WFH/hybrid options depending on your role. Work/life balance is a big priority and is frequently discussed among both managers and ICs (individual contributors). There's also a strong emphasis on career growth and learning opportunities. Before Etsy, I had never felt so supported and comfortable at work.
Cons
Mainly it's just that the company is big, so sometimes it's hard to get the right information or find the right person or team to help with a problem. However, when you consider how big the company is, this is less of a problem than you might expect due to the various well-organized systems and resources that employees can use to communicate and share info.
