Pros

The amount to be learned from the Etsy engineering and ops teams is without comparison. In terms of managing the engineering side of a company, Etsy clearly has it nailed. A very kind environment in many ways.

Cons

All of their focus on fixing the infrastructure over the years seems to have led to lagging product development. They look to be repairing this now.

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.
