Pros

Etsy is the fourth tech company I've worked at and the first company I've worked at that isn't an absolute trashfire for women. My work is interesting and impactful, I have a great work life balance, and the perks are pretty good. I love working here and anticipate staying for years.

Cons

There's a lot of bureaucracy around performance reviews, and the process can feel pretty opaque.

Pros

Empathetic, smart people in a lot places.

Cons

Senior leadership has changed alot in the years since the pandemic highs and it's not quite stabilized. Overvalued executors and undervalued those with high EQ and people leadership. Promoted executors into senior roles and then they floundered and exited, or worse they chased away better potential fits for those roles who were overlooked.

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.
