Pros

Etsy offers a great work-life balance, which makes it easy to manage both personal and professional responsibilities.

Cons

Frequent reorganizations and yearly shifts in strategy make it hard to see projects through. Leadership often lacks experience, prioritizing speed over thoughtful decision-making. Communication is indirect, which can stall progress and limit opportunities for upward movement.
