Etsy is a global creative commerce platform, powering markets, services and economic opportunity for creative entrepreneurs. Millions of people around the world use our markets to connect – both online and offline – to make, sell and buy unique goods. Our mission is to keep commerce human.

Lives Their Mission

The heart and soul of Etsy is our global community – the creative entrepreneurs who use our platform to sell their creations, the shoppers looking for things they can’t find elsewhere, the manufacturers who partner with Etsy sellers to help them grow, and the Etsy employees who maintain and nurture our marketplace.

Dedication to our mission is at the core of our identity. It guides our day-to-day decisions while inspiring us to think big for the long term. It reflects what makes our marketplace so special and our commitment to having a positive social, economic, and environmental impact. As a result, our marketing strategies are authentic, relatable, and human.

Team Is Diverse

Building a diverse and equitable workforce is a priority at Etsy. We believe that difference makes us smarter, more resilient, innovative, and creative. We’re invested in creating a culture where all employees have the opportunity to succeed and where everyone can be their true self at work.

We’ve long been an industry leader in gender diversity, with women accounting for at least 50% of our overall employee base, executive team, and Board of Directors. We’re proud of these gender statistics, but also recognize that diversity is multi-faceted. That’s why in early 2019, we committed to the ambitious goal of doubling the percentage of Black and Latinx employees in our workforce by 2023. As a company, we openly share our diversity and inclusion report on our blog, holding us accountable for these ambitions.

Friends Outside Of Work

As a team of like-minded people, we celebrate our shared creative passions and value for meaningful human connections. Each week, we gather for Eatsy, a sustainable, locally-sourced meal where we eat food together that’s prepared from scratch by local businesses. Our team will also frequently host their own craft workshops in our Etsy labs – a space built for making and hosting community events that support the stalls of the sellers working across our marketplace.

Supports Professional Development

Work is our craft, so professional development and personal growth is a priority. This means that you can bring your whole self to work and learn every day. Our employees get to lead, drive change, and share their ideas – regardless of seniority, tenure, or title. We invite team members to grow both their professional skills and creative interests through our unique employee programs and opportunities. 

We provide opportunities to attend job-specific training and conferences, as well as foster a rich culture for internal training. Our lunch and learn program – affectionately called Edsy – encourages any of our employees with specific knowledge to educate others on varied topics of interest throughout the company.

We’re also proud of our strong internal promotion rate of 20%, helping foster new career development opportunities as well as creating a healthy pipeline of talent for our leadership positions.

Work/Life Balance

We clearly outline performance expectations and deliverables, allowing team members the flexibility to accommodate personal needs around their outputs. While the majority of our employees work from the office, we do facilitate exceptions for remote workers when appropriate. If team members are unwell, we know how important it is to take time and focus on recovery. Our unlimited sick leave policy gives our employees the best opportunity to take time and properly recharge.

Creative-Driven

Etsy’s culture is embedded in our work practices. Like our sellers, creativity is in our DNA. Working in our global offices, you will experience a visual celebration of local artisans and an environment that supports diverse work styles. Our spaces demonstrate our commitment to community, craft and sustainability. 

We’re a team of creative self-starters who work both collaboratively and independently to execute new ideas and projects. We’re results orientated and enjoy finding creative ways to achieve our goals.

Supportive Of Parents

We provide 26 weeks of fully-paid parental leave to all employees. Employees, regardless of gender, may take this time over 2 years after birth or adoption. We also provide a stipend for assistance with the costs of adoption or surrogacy. All of our offices also include well-appointed parent rooms. These rooms are primarily used for nursing mothers, but are gender neutral when not in use for pumping. Additionally, our team is invited to bring family members (and dogs) into the office at any point, including for our Eatsy lunches.
