Pros

Amazing benefits, onsites, company culture, food, smart colleagues, etc. If you want to have a very social work environment this is the company for you. Also, if you have a family or need a good work life balance Etsy is good for that too.

Cons

While Etsy offers great benefits, I'm not sure I will stay there in the long-term. It seems that the direction of the company is constantly changing. Maybe it's because tech as an industry is not doing as well as it did during the pandemic. While I think Etsy is great, I also am not confident in its future and am not sure there are many opportunities for career growth within the company.

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.
