Pros

Pretty flexible company that doesn’t make you work to the bone. Great people to work with in the office. The facilities team does an amazing job.

Cons

Lack of company growth has destroyed the amazing appeal of Etsy's culture. Post-layoffs, working on “quick to make a dollar” projects has not paid off. Company orgs are flat, and promotions are a dream rather than a reality. Nepotism is incredibly prevalent.

Advice to Management

Leadership should be a mix of people who came up through the ranks and new hires.

Too much change and too many processes do not enable growth.
