Pros

Culture was a huge part of the reason people came and people stayed. There are amazing people who work at Etsy and the community you support is awesome.

Cons

Not everyone comes at solving a problem with community first. The company scrambles on understanding if it's a community based company or an ecommerce site. For certain departments, people move up because they are there, not because they are the most qualified. Decisions are made by people who don't understand small business and creatives.

Pros

The company has a more pragmatic and focused approach for the strategy set forth.

Cons

For old time employees, it takes some adjusting - for new-comers, now is a great time to join.
