      Amazing, fun corporate culture if you're on the right team

      Pros

      Excellent benefits, good cause, creative community, Etsy school, beautiful work environment, free lunches (Eatsy), some opportunities for personal and professional growth.

      Cons

      Some teams are more dysfunctional than others. No matter what, you have to be an incredibly strong self-advocate and hyper-aware of office politics to get ahead. Sometimes it feels like you're competing too much with co-workers for recognition, which inevitably eats into your work/life balance because you feel like you always have to be over preforming to be on par.

      A classic love-hate relationship

      Pros

      Company values and culture are uniquely great. It's a very quirky place. Benefits are great too with a lot of time flexibility.

      Cons

      We used to be naive and not know what we're doing, but it was a lot of fun. Now we have too many ambitious careerists that are looking to coast, say no a lot, and don't know what they're doing. Party's over.

      "Over-Hyped Culture"

      Pros

      Great space and is a good place to build an online marketplace at scale.

      Cons

      The pitch is that the company is a "startup" with growth and promotional path. The reality is the company hired poorly, and is reeling from bureaucracy and ineffective managers. Etsy people are pretentious to the users, and some drank too much of the Kool-aid.
