Artsy

I focus best in the mornings so I'm able to have my focus time then and schedule all my meetings in the afternoon. I'm also flexible to start later or do any personal chores during the day when necessary. I'm in charge of my time and I love the flexibility!

During my first couple of months as a new manager at Artsy I got to do a manager training to improve my coaching skills which is amazing! Sharing knowledge with others is generally highly valued at Artsy as we have weekly Knowledge Sharings in the team and wider engineering org.

Artsy encourages feedback and offers feedback training during onboarding. Also, upwards feedback is required which is important as people might otherwise shy away from it. I love this open culture and everyone's desire to grow! Psychological safety is an important metric of a healthy team here.

We are allowed much flexibility with our working hours and hybrid/remote work set up (in coordination with our manager). This makes it nice to plan around your personal needs; get your workouts done, take your child to an appointment or event.

There are extremely thoughtful and caring individuals that work here. You feel genuine connections with people. I feel very supported by the leadership team and my coworkers.

There is such an opportunity to create a marketplace that connects more people to art, and helps create living wages for Artists. In an industry that has been very out of reach to most in the past, we are making a way for more people to be moved by art every day and for more Artists to get their work appreciated.

What I love the most about Artsy are the people I work with and the ongoing learning and growth opportunities. The team encourages and motivates each other to find innovative ways to do things and supports one another in their professional growth. Everyone inspires me by the quality of their work, willingness to teach, and eagerness to learn. Working to develop the most significant and fastest-growing community of experienced art collectors online, you get a sense of accomplishment and feel like part of something bigger by the end of every day.

The possibilities at the Artsy are endless. One of our values is owning your outcomes; we are all individual owners of Artsy’s shared success. We are resourceful and resilient, and to get the job done, we each take responsibility for our outcomes. Your contributions are continually recognized for directly impacting Artsy’s bottom line. Artsy allows you to shine, which translates into growth opportunities.

Artsy fully supports working parents, making it possible for people with children to thrive in all areas of their lives. We have a supportive, inclusive workplace culture where parents can openly discuss issues and seek guidance from peers and where they don’t have to be apologetic about their position as an employee and a parent. Artsy also offers flexible time off, empowering employees to take time off based on their needs as well as comprehensive healthcare and benefit options, such as medical, dental, parental leave, and more.

The company leadership has a clear vision and detailed strategy which is clearly communicated so everyone knows how their day-to-day ladders-up into the larger strategy. Decisions are openly debated, data-driven, and respect the company culture.

A lot of companies say they are going to "change the world," but Artsy truly has an opportunity to change how art is bought, sold, and appreciated. Our Product & Engineering team are rock stars and it seems like the product gets better every day.

Artsy invests a lot of time and care into hiring the right people and it shows. It feel like across the board everyone is very good at what they do and I always get value out of all my personal interactions. I've learned a ton just by watching how colleagues operate.

Artsy has been a fantastic place for me to grow, because it's a rapidly expanding & changing company in a transformative field, with an incredibly welcoming, supportive and values-driven team, all working towards an inspiring mission.

The values were democratically selected after feedback from the team, so everyone is not merely hired to fit the values, but also on board with what they are. They are very well integrated into our day to day lives - not only are they used for talent assessment and feedback, but people cite them in conversation, when decision-making etc. They support everything we do.

It's a fast growing company in an exciting field (the art market is very dynamic and unique) and we're doing challenging, transformative work. This means that if you're curious, there's no end to what you can learn. We're empowered to be in charge of our own learning, but many opportunities are provided for training etc.

Everyone who comes to Artsy feels driven by the mission to a greater or lesser extent. People really believe their work is making a difference, which makes for a stronger feeling of "we're in it together" than at other companies.

Working at Artsy can be hard, we're trying to meet some tough goals. But that generally feels invigorating because the work feels like it matters, and virtually everything is a real, valuable learning experience.

People are smart, driven, and kind. It's a really powerful combination that means that, no matter what's going on or even if something is frustrating, you know people are doing their best. People really put their all into their work when they come to Artsy.
