Pros

-Culture -Smart Executives -Genuine and intelligent people -Impressive and well curated office spaces -Creative and fun company events (community hours, talent shows, etc.) The company has had an impressive turnaround from layoffs and through uncertain times and most current employees are optimistic about the present and future.

Cons

Passion and intelligence alone does not equal a job well done. Continue to improve internal communications, teamwork, leadership, etc.

Pros

Our mission to keep commerce human comes to life everyday with the work we do. I love supporting creative entrepreneurs and making a difference in their lives. It's been a bit of a wild ride at Etsy since last year, but I feel strongly that we're heading in the right direction and will be doing amazing things to continue to grow. The benefits, especially the incredibly important parental leave and medical coverage, are great for attracting and retaining talent. Within the office, it's also nice to have so many places to work. I can sit with my team in our pod or go work on a sofa or outside if it's nice.

Cons

Sometimes it feels like there's a lack of direction from the top down. Communication between teams isn't always strong and it doesn't seem like leadership realizes how disjointed things can be at the rungs below their reports. It's a very young company - what I mean by that is most people seem to be in their twenties and thirties. This is great for innovation, but at the same time I think there's a lack of maturity on the culture front.
