Software Engineering Interview Experience - Brooklyn, New York
Process
The interview process began with a brief 30-minute phone interview with an engineer.
Following that, an on-site interview took place at Etsy's HQ in Brooklyn.
Both experiences were very pleasant. The engineers were ready to guide me when I was stuck on a question and were also very pleasant.
It's hard to say anything negative about this company. The questions weren't ridiculously hard.
Additionally, they genuinely wanted to get to know me and what kind of person I am. This is important because very often interviews focus solely on programming skills rather than the interviewee's personality.
Overall, it was a great experience, and everyone is strongly encouraged to apply!

- 2.0Great people, fine companySenior iOS Engineer • Former EmployeeBrooklyn, New York, United StatesDecember 19, 2024Pros: Amazing engineers to learn from.Cons: Lack of focus on good engineering
- 3.0Let's keep it realSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeBrooklyn, New York, United StatesOctober 18, 2017Pros: These one-star ratings are silly. The truth is, Josh Silverman has articulated a vision and created focus like I've never seen before. Most employees are generous, helpful, and fun to be around. The company is still committed to having a positive impact on the world.Cons: Everyone is waiting to see whether Etsy is still a good place to grow a career or if it will slowly but surely burn through its experienced workforce. Don't expect training for new skills, and don't expect to go to a conference without a fight. Middle management is a mixed bag. Some are toxic and abusive. Others are fine.
