Pros

Very good people. Lovely office and benefits.

Cons

Too many HR for such a small entity. Your contribution is not valued.

Advice to Management

Hire better managers and give recognition for the hard workers.

Pros

Etsy is a wonderful place if you can handle a fast paced, ever changing environment. I've been here for almost 4 years and the company has been nothing but supportive of me and my career and especially in times when things personally were not great. The company deeply cares about us as humans and for that I am thankful.

Cons

The only con is that we move too quickly at times, because of that we do often have to change directions which can cause a lot of fatigue among teams

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing and continue to listen to the employees.

Pros

Compensations & benefits are ok, better than a non-tech company, however they are not as good as other tech companies.

Cons

While they spend all the internal meetings talking about diversity and equality, I have known several cases where females were promoted at the same time and to the same position that males in the same team and they received a lower salary raise. Their complains were brushed off under the carpet by HR. Also while employees are encouraging to talk to HR and they are promised that the conversations are confidential, HR has informed about this "confidential" meetings to the employee's manager creating a toxic atmosphere. No career opportunities outside of the US. In all the employee surveys the lack of opportunities outside the 2 main US offices is an issue that is bringing up by the employees constantly, the executive team poorly address this and nothing has ever changed. Salary is definitely lower than other tech companies.

Pros

Compensation & benefits, perks, events

Cons

Disorganized, lack of accountability, poor leadership, toxic work environment

Pros

Plenty of career growth opportunities here and ability to have a huge impact. You don't usually get this with as large of a company (or as much technical scale) as we have: it's a pretty special place from that regard. The culture is also great. We have progressive benefits (half a year of parental leave!), yummy snacks, and engaged leadership that really knows what's going on in individual teams and is excited to speak to individuals on those teams.

Cons

Things move quick here. The people who are most successful tend to be comfortable working through ambiguity.

Pros

The leadership org is cognizant of of pain points and actively seeks to improve There is a cohesive culture where it feels most everyone believes in the mission to humanize eCommerce I have noticed that if you are honest about your career trajectory, management will give you a roadmap Great work life balance

Cons

Some roles could use a more defined scope. If you are interviewing for a role here, make sure that you ask about your first 30/60/90 days and what success looks like for that time period.
