      Software Engineering Interview

      25 Jan 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Brooklyn, NY
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Etsy (Brooklyn, NY) in Nov 2016

      Interview

      First a brief 30 minute phone interview with an engineer. Then an on-site interview at Etsy's HQ in Brooklyn. Both experiences were very pleasant. The engineers are ready to guide you out when you're stuck on a question and are also very pleasant. It's hard to say anything negative about this company. The questions weren't ridiculously hard. Also, they actually want to get to know you and what kind of a person you are. This is important because very often interviews end up being about how good of a programmer you are and not much about what kind of a person the interviewee is. Overall, a great experience, everyone is very encouraged to apply!

      Software Engineering Interview

      1 Nov 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Brooklyn, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Etsy (Brooklyn, NY) in Nov 2015

      Interview

      I was contacted via email fairly quickly. I had one phone interview with a few behavioral questions and a super easy coding challenge before being brought out to Brooklyn. There were four brief interviews, half getting to know me and half simple coding challenges. It's unclear exactly how they can differentiate people off of those questions.

      Software Engineering Interview

      2 Dec 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Brooklyn, NY
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Etsy (Brooklyn, NY) in Oct 2014

      Interview

      Applied online via their website. Was contacted the next day by a recruiter setting up a preliminary phone screen. A week later I spoke with an Engineering Manager for roughly ~30 minutes about my experience, why Etsy, etc... Nothing technical. The conversation was brief and easy. Then made it to the next round where I was invited for a day of interviews in their NY office. Unfortunately, I could not travel to Brooklyn due to distance. The recruiter said this was fine and scheduled 4 back-to-back Skype interviews, all with different team members. The first Skype interview lasted about 55 minutes and was merely culture-fit. We discussed technical challenges, life at Etsy, again, my experience, etc... About a week later I had the remaining 3 interviews back-to-back. The first two were technical, and lasted about 30 minutes. I was asked basic coding the questions, the first one being the easiest. The second interview was quite difficult and the interviewer didn't really say much/provide me with any guidance when I got stuck. The last interview was a 30 minute "walk-through" my resume, where an engineer asked me specific details about past internships and projects I've worked on.
