Despite a shaky last year, still the best place I've ever worked
Pros
- Great place to work as a marginalized person - Since the 2017 layoffs and refocus, people work at a faster pace and focus more on iteration - Good benefits and perks including weekly free lunch and daily snacks - Best office I've ever worked in - The HQ isn't in Manhattan - Remote friendly, working from home is encouraged - Great and interesting challenges - Working on a marketplace that encourages people to be creative and gives artists a way to live while doing what they enjoy - Good growth and learning opportunities
Cons
- Change is hard and some people are definitely a bit salty - Your experience can depend on the team, but things are getting more standardized which is nice - The attrition was tough post-layoffs, but has vastly improved - Sentiment amongst Etsy sellers can be demoralizing, but the company is listening to them and things are getting better
