This is a company with great benefits but no room for growth - Anonymous employee Etsy Employee Review

The age old tale at Etsy was that it was able to find someone like myself who had been in the same position for a few years and had never received a promotion. Despite having good review after good review, nothing I did to take on more work ever helped shift a promotion to my direction. Which was already tough because in my 5 years there I had 6 different managers one of them twice, which equals a manager shuffle 7 times. Not only that, but there was never any real direction with where to take my position. Every time I tried to move forward I was told to take a step back because they had no idea where to put me or what to make of my role as it was growing. Also, the benefits are great, but they are also a distraction from the poor pay imbalances within the company.
