Pros

- People there actually believe in Etsy's mission and values, which trickles out into not just aligned work but good-heartedness demonstrated by most teammates - On a related note, very inclusive - Treat employees really well in terms of compensation, benefits, etc

Cons

- Might be different now, but during my six years, there were a high number of significant and disruptive shifts in terms of leadership, department structures, reporting structures, and the like—on the other hand though, this was during a major growth period, so some amount of that is to be expected - Because the mission is so important, there was some tension around how to honor that as a public company/answering to a board

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.
