Pros
By far the best part of working here is the people that you see every day. Etsy has some of the kindest, smartest, and most diligent employees that I've had the opportunity to work with. I don't feel like I'm competing with my coworkers, but rather that we're working towards a common goal, and supporting each other along the way.
There is a wide surface of technical challenges and products to work on, and everything is making progress at a fast pace.
We have a culture of sharing knowledge, so if you have a question, you can approach anyone in the company (a bit of a double-edged sword).
Compensation and benefits are pretty good. While not top-tier, I feel that I was made a very respectable offer coming in, and they give generous raises and bonuses according to your performance. The benefits are pretty good (401K, health, dental, life, a bunch of extras).Cons
Some of the technology is a bit dated, and there's a (responsible and well-intentioned) conservatism about modernizing tools and infrastructure. We are making progress on this.
The open-office layout is not good at all for concentration. There are a ton of distractions, ESPECIALLY slack.
Some restructuring has caused gaps in coverage of legacy systems. This should be addressed.
It's been pretty hard to get extra hardware for testing or development, hopefully that issue goes away soon.Advice to Management
You're doing great. I really appreciate the frequent updates and insight into what's happening across the organization. I love that we are so user-focused in everything we do. I hope that we can preserve some of what made Etsy unique in the early days as we push to grow as an organization and business. I like the charm of the place, and your employees care a great deal about doing great work. You've got a lot going for you, so just take care to preserve and improve, and don't just make us another ecommerce site with the same corporate culture as everyone else.

Passion and intelligence alone does not equal a job well done. Continue to improve internal communications, teamwork, leadership, etc.
Advice to Management
Continue to successfully make smart business decisions, with our sellers and employees best interest in mind.
