I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Etsy (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2022
Interview
The interview went well as the guy told me, it was just a screening process but he said he liked my profile and then never heard back. no follow up, nothing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Product design-related questions, what is your design process, why do you want to work for us, and why do you think you would be a good fit?
The process felt very templated. No feedback throughout. Just a series of questions they can choose from. I wouldn't say it was my favorite but I see why it's valuable to judge everyone equally.

Question 1
Describe a time you had to make tradeoffs with other stakeholders
The interview process at Etsy was Very nice and organized interview process. Hard questions but fair and very exciting company. Would recommend to anyone looking to work in e-commerce and my consider it again in the future.
Had a manager ask me basic questions about design process and I provided accurate and substantial answers. I even followed up with, "have I answered your question?" They seemed unhappy with my responses and couldn't find another way to ask for whatever they were looking for.
