      A company that seems warm to the touch, yet is cold and out of touch

      Pros

      Great compensation, generous RSU packages. Remote work. Amazing corporate culture and fun people to work with.

      Cons

      Hire & Fire company. I worked for Etsy for 1 year, 1 week and 1 day. My management changed and the new manager never liked me. I had a mostly ok review and then one day I found out I didn't work there any more.

      Want to work hard, make an impact and never be thanked and over-managed?

      Pros

      At one point I managed a single person and had three managers over me. All three had absolutely no idea what I was working on, despite sharing weekly updates, reports, invites to important meetings. Would try to meet with direct manager and she repeatedly cancelled, didn't show up, etc. Was offered a position that required more work, responsibilities and told I wouldn't get a raise.

      Cons

      Women make less than men. One raise after 4 years and after two promotions.

      Pretentious and Underwhelming

      Pros

      Great place to work if you're not really about work. Fun people, lots of social stuff going on, lots of free time and mental cycles to devote to other life things like working out or reading or taking care of kids. Flashy office.

      Cons

      You are probably going to bleed skills a bit from lack of practice. Low hiring standards, so you're not really working with the best or brightest. Very cliquish and political. It seemed like most of the interesting work was hoarded by a few people, and the rest were fighting over the scraps. If you are not an uber-hipster, you're probably not going to fit in very well. Extremely weak management can't seem to move the needle on anything. Also, negotiate your starting salary well, because adjustments are few and far between.
