Thank you for sharing this feedback. It’s encouraging to hear that the efforts we’ve put toward competitive benefits and perks, a flexible work environment, and our office spaces contributed positively to your time with Etsy. Your feedback around work-life balance and investment in management is also important to us. We’ve found that with our recent rapid growth, we needed to scale our employee base to maintain momentum. We’re focused, however, on creating more balance and better access to resources to help set our teams and managers up for long-term success. By striking the right balance of requesting feedback at scale, combined with providing our leaders more capacity and resources to support their reports, we are optimistic that this will address the concerns you’ve mentioned here.

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.
