Worth the Effort Pros:Very Rewarding selling own products Cons:Sometimes others copy your work

Seller Pros:Gives you lots of flexibility Cons:Lots of competition, high fees

Not a wise employment decision Pros:Kind people overall who care about the work they produce and those they work with. Empathy is a strong quality across employees at Etsy. Cons:Poor leadership - young inexperienced ICs are often promoted into leadership roles for which they are not qualified. Growth is very limited under weak leadership. Poor decision making - decisions take a long time to be made and communication of changes is weak. There is often confusion around proper process or a backpedaling of the decision. Overall, a lack of qualified and competent leaderships has created a culture of “personality hires” that stunts real progress and the growth of hungry, motivated employees. Layoffs due to poor company performance and dwindling sales revenue Advice to Management:Hire qualified leadership. Internal mobility is important but it should not be at the detriment of team success. You shouldn’t be hiring for potential. This has led to weak morale and overall a different Etsy than the company once was. I’m sad to say the future is not bright.

Great place and culture Pros:great work life balance amazing colleague great work environment Cons:you can feel small at times with so many different teams working on so many things

Toxic Pros:Some of the best people you’ll ever meet. The trauma bonds will keep you friends for life. Benefits are great but will keep you in a golden cuff situation for years past when it’s clearly time to leave for your mental health. Cons:The most toxic environment i’ve ever seen in decades of working corporate. It’s game of thrones level politics behind the scenes. Upper Management is terrible and feeds into it all.

Not for Minorities Pros:Good benefits. Salary is better but not top range. Some good co-workers who know who to do their job Cons:Some juvenile managers are hiring to get promoted. They use shady tactics saying a senior is the manager you will be reporting to and later move you to a 20 yr old manager who know nothing about leadership. If it was disclosed during interview you will most likely will not join. My manager hired me with the intent to fire me after getting a promotion since she had no knowledge of the department she was managing. Pure lack of accountability for leadership failures and someone is made a scapegoat. I have been tracking my past team and have been in contact with them till today. The team has a revolving door for product managers, mainly due to my juvenile manager who know nothing. There more talk than actual work and always trying to make friends to keep ones job than actually doing the job. I was pushed to a point where I felt I am not performing well and my next company I got an excellence award in the first 6 months. I am so happy now and has a different perspective about the managers. I am very careful to assess the skill of the manager before I apply to the new positions. It is true that your under performance or lower performance in many situations is a reflection of your boss than you. It is very Hippocratic for a company like Etsy to state they are all in for supporting minorities, but it's essentially a white company where they want to show diversity in numbers but actually want minorities to do major work without promotions. Advice to Management:Stop promoting juvenile people into leadership positions. Also, the person who talks most does not necessarily have leadership skills.

Lol Pros:Work when you want . Cons:Shipping orders out is annoying

Values-driven company Pros:Values, office design, food, and peeks Cons:Org changes are frequent and often disruptive Advice to Management:Reduce number of priorities
