Pros

--Excellent benefits, beautiful office --If you're willing to work, you are generally rewarded --Previous leadership (since laid off) was probably more values aligned, but their vision for the company wasn't getting it done, and new leadership has recognized that and adjusted accordingly.

Cons

--Getting the comp you deserve can often come down to a manager going to bat for you. HR is generally well-intentioned in this department, but kind of useless. --The Kool-Aid Drinkers of the "old Etsy" are still around (and still leaving nasty reviews here) and they're unwillingness to accept the changes manifests itself in sometimes mediocre work and dumb things like petitions .

Pros

cool culture flexible work arrangements, decent pay, cool work.

Cons

outsourcing everything they can, selling all they can for parts, its a sinking ship of a company. keep in mind that they spend more on labor in Mexico city than in USA! What a sham! should be taken off US Stock exchange for that! Loosing users at a steady rate year of year. I'd avoid. no growth opportunity. Not brand vision.
