Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience - United States
Process
The whole process took about one month after the recruiter got in touch. There were two rounds: the first one was a no-coding technical interview mocking a real-life system with data structures, and the second one was a paired coding session focused on debugging an existing simple web app and a behavioral interview. Definitely a very interesting and unique experience!

- 4.0Culture equals growthEngineering Manager • Current EmployeeDublin, Dublin, IrelandOctober 22, 2025Pros: Pretty flexible company that doesn’t make you work to the bone. Great people to work with in the office. The facilities team does an amazing job.Cons: Lack of company growth has destroyed the amazing appeal of Etsy's culture. Post-layoffs, working on “quick to make a dollar” projects has not paid off. Company orgs are flat, and promotions are a dream rather than a reality. Nepotism is incredibly prevalent.
