Etsy

If you get to the right team, you’ll meet some of the most talented and empathetic people. Until recently, one of the best engineering cultures I’ve been a part of.

Publicly traded company with a CEO who seems to have lost the board’s favor and is flailing to get it back.

Expect random company-wide meetings where the CEO will send out a 15-minute video using nonsense buzzwords, followed by weeks of shifting priorities in an attempt to meet nondescript goals.

People join Etsy because they believe in the product, and that belief will be stripped from you every time a team silently disappears from Slack, or you search through a sea of cheap, drop-shipped knockoffs to find a test listing.

They admit to paying below market for a culture that they are quickly eroding. Don’t accept a job with a promise of promotion within the year; it won’t happen.

Focus. Give Josh a golden parachute before he vanity buys another company (Depop, Elo7) and runs it into the ground. If you aren't going to remove dropshipped goods (and are going to argue about what exactly that means instead), then at least cordon them off away from handmade items.
