What It's Like Inside Etsy's New Arty, Sustainable Headquarters
New hires take an audio art tour of the Brooklyn space.
Etsy's new Brooklyn headquarters is less than a year old, but it already feels lived in. It has colorful, comfortable alcoves set off from main workspaces, and Etsy sellers' artwork dots the spacious concrete halls.

The office constantly uses hardware and software to make everything run more efficiently, according to Josh Wise, director of workplace ecology. And, he hopes, more creatively. Staff (pictured above, from left to right) share their thoughts.
