Pros

Etsy cares about the well-being of its employees and its environmental/social impact and it's real. Very metrics driven so the best, impartial decisions are being made

Cons

Some of the old guard that wasn't let go are still incompetent at their jobs. Most of them have been replaced by more knowledgeable and experienced external hires though

Pros

Etsy has a great mission. People genuinely care about each other. The company attracts a strong and exceptionally diverse talent pool of junior engineers. It is still a surprisingly small team, so it's possible to make an impact.

Cons

It's time to get serious. The engineering org is far behind other companies of its size. There are few senior engineers with experience from outside Etsy. Low-quality work abounds, but is never acknowledged. This does a disservice to both the business and the individuals. Management infighting certainly does not help.

Pros

Etsy is a place where you'll meet people you'll keep in touch with for a lifetime. The people and the energy is so special. Pros: working with people with strong empathy; the best engineering team. both teams i've been on at my time here have the most talented and generous engineers ever.

Cons

It's a large company, with a lot of products and a lot of research material so it takes a while to ramped up on everything.
