Etsy

Etsy is focused on delivering new experiences, improvements, and fixes quickly and easily. I feel this gives me the freedom to organize myself: my work, meetings, lunch, and break times. I also have the opportunity to feel the product as my own, since I am fully responsible for planning and launching the deliverables.

It is a great opportunity to build a real product that you can see being used in the exact moment you push the change to production.

When I say you own it, I mean it. You have to watch the metrics dashboard with attention, considering latency and possible errors, and act quickly if needed. Of course, all people here are really open to helping you.

Etsy is open to remote work, which I find awesome.

Salary and benefits are beyond desirable.

Written documentation is not a strong feature here; talking with other people is preferred.

At the beginning, I felt a little lost on what I had to do. I did not feel comfortable owning a little piece of the system, so you have to dedicate a little more time than other positions and be patient while you are learning the basics.
