Pros

I'm a new engineer, and I'm loving my time at Etsy. The culture is very unique, and there seems to be a strong emphasis on people not being a-holes to one another. I'm treated with a lot of respect, despite being relatively junior, and am working on things that I enjoy. One of the best things about this job is the work-life balance -- my managers take the stance that working 24/7 doesn't improve your performance at all, so you should take what breaks are needed to make sure you're performing at your best. Not a single complaint really.

Cons

As some other people have said, it's a little unclear how promotions and such work.

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.
