Pros

Landing a job at Etsy is the dream. We have a start-up mentality but are established. We are small but not too small. The perks are unbelievable (from 6 months of paid parental leave, to free breakfast, lunch, (amazing) coffee, and snacks, to yoga classes in the office, cute pups at people's desks, and flexible work hours)--no one wants to leave. You can develop real relationships with your co-workers because people want to stick around and grow their careers here. Working at a mission-driven organization while also being developed and compensated well is very rewarding.

Cons

Not much at all, the only thing I can think of is that, because of the fact Etsy has changed so much/grown so rapidly over the last few years, it feels like there's a divide between the newcomers and the old-timers who have been around since the beginning. But everyone is very open and welcoming.

Pros

Empathetic, smart people in a lot places.

Cons

Senior leadership has changed alot in the years since the pandemic highs and it's not quite stabilized. Overvalued executors and undervalued those with high EQ and people leadership. Promoted executors into senior roles and then they floundered and exited, or worse they chased away better potential fits for those roles who were overlooked.

Pros

cool culture flexible work arrangements, decent pay, cool work.

Cons

outsourcing everything they can, selling all they can for parts, its a sinking ship of a company. keep in mind that they spend more on labor in Mexico city than in USA! What a sham! should be taken off US Stock exchange for that! Loosing users at a steady rate year of year. I'd avoid. no growth opportunity. Not brand vision.
