      Pros

      Super creative and supportive team doing great things for great sellers. There's something magical about working at a mission-driven company. The new leadership is taking us to new heights.

      Cons

      Long time employees who got comfortable with doing the minimum are unhappy with the new direction and it's annoying to try to motivate them.

      Pros

      These one star ratings are silly. The truth is, Josh Silverman has articulated a vision and created focus like I've never seen before. Most employees are generous, helpful, and fun to be around. The company is still committed to having a positive impact on the world.

      Cons

      Everyone is waiting to see whether Etsy is still a good place to grow a career or if it will slowly but surely burn through its experienced workforce. Don't expect training for new skills and don't expect to go to a conference without a fight. Middle management is a mixed bag. Some are toxic and abusive. Others are fine.

      Pros

      Gorgeous office Some of the best people you could hope to work with

      Cons

      Amazing company culture disappeared in recent layoffs/reorg So many at Director level and up got there as a result of circumstance above ability to perform at that level or any relevant subject matter expertise
