Pros

Very open and friendly culture. Blamelessness is a core value. Lots of opportunity for shared learning. Actual commitments to sustainability, green energy, and community engagement. People will actually listen to you if you have ideas for new products. Phenomenal work/life balance. Basically, you feel good working at Etsy.

Cons

Upper management has vision, but communication seems to have gotten worse. Technical leadership is very hands off and doesn't provide enough guidance. Depending on your manager you may have to take your career into your own hands.

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.
