Pros

Etsy was a fun place to work. The culture of the marketplace is evident in the culture of the people who work there. The office in Brooklyn is amazing, and the satellite offices also have a charm of their own. The technical culture is well developed and there were usually a good number of senior engineers to learn from when I was there.

Cons

Like any public company, there can be some turmoil based around earnings reports and shifting goals / expectations.

Pros

Empathetic, smart people in a lot places.

Cons

Senior leadership has changed alot in the years since the pandemic highs and it's not quite stabilized. Overvalued executors and undervalued those with high EQ and people leadership. Promoted executors into senior roles and then they floundered and exited, or worse they chased away better potential fits for those roles who were overlooked.

Pros

cool culture flexible work arrangements, decent pay, cool work.

Cons

outsourcing everything they can, selling all they can for parts, its a sinking ship of a company. keep in mind that they spend more on labor in Mexico city than in USA! What a sham! should be taken off US Stock exchange for that! Loosing users at a steady rate year of year. I'd avoid. no growth opportunity. Not brand vision.
