Process

Had a video call interview which included a behavioral and an easy coding question, followed by a 30-minute recruiter call.

Was invited for a final onsite interview which went for 5 to 6 hours. This included:

  • 3 technical rounds
  • 3 behavioral rounds

Had a great time talking to the people working at Etsy. Noted the great culture and refreshing interview style.

The decision was sent in a week.

Questions

Phone interview: Easy LeetCode question.

Onsite interview: Asked to design a messaging feature for a website. Debugging a Flask application. General behavioral questions, such as "Tell me about a time you had to deal with a difficult employee."
