Interviewer didn't understand my answers to the questions as she didn't have a good grasp of the english language, would repeat the question back after I had already answered. I couldn't understand a lot of what she said and she had a rude attitude from the start. Everyone else I spoke to was lovely and it was disappointing. At the end I asked the interviewer if there was anything I had said that would create any doubts on my suitability for the position as I would like a chance to clarify and end on a positive note. The interviewer replied that everything was clear as she had taken notes, which was upsetting because she didn't even understand something so basic.
It is one of the lowest standards of communication I have ever encountered in a professional environment.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is etsy and how it is different from various other ecommerce platforms and advantages of etsy over other ecommerce platform.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Etsy (Dublin, Dublin) in Nov 2017
Interview
The interview process took around 4 weeks. Two of each I was just waiting for a reply.
First - phone screen interview with HR.
Second - phone interview with Hiring Manager.
Third - phone interview with one of team members (if applying for a position with foreign language - then it will be it )
Finally - On-site interview. Took about 2.5 hours, 1 interview with 2 managers, 1 interview with 2 team members and 1 assignment test writing an Email response in 2 languages.
All in all it was a very friendly environment, with very nice people. I was always updated and recevied support from HR.
It was disturbing to get a "No Reply" standard refusal. I understand that there was a better candidate, but a more personal reply will be nice.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Etsy? Why should we hire you? When was the time you couldn't help a client and what did you do? A time when you went above and beyond for a client. How would your boss describe you? What are the most frequent problems the Etsy Sellers and Buyers face?
