I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SeatGeek (New York, NY) in Mar 2016
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me. Even though position and my core skill didn't match, I was told not to worry to much about that.
I had 2 phone interviews. First was just exploratory and second one was little technical. I then had an onsite interview.
Recruiter was really bad at co-ordinating interviews. Every time he/she would send me a date and asked for my confirmation. Upon sending my confirmation I would receive a email back about some excuse or another that previous date time (sent by the recruiter himself/herself) would not work. I was so annoyed that, at one point I declined to do proceed with onsite interview. I was asked to come in for interview even though one of the key interviews wasn't available that day.
All the interviewers, however, were extremely friendly.
It took company about 2 weeks to say no.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Phone Interview questions were really high school level like 'reverse a string', 'reverse words in a string.
Onsite interview questions were of the same difficulty (or same ease).
Smooth process. Coding questions were fair and everyone seemed nice. There were quite a few rounds (by the end of the onsite I got to 7+ I think).
- Screen
- 2 Technicals
- 2 Systems
- Several values (or values adjacent interviews)

Question 1
What I did for personal development outside of work.
Pretty friendly process and people seemed very personable and interested in getting to know you. The interviews seemed to go okay but wasn't given detailed feedback on why it wasn't a match ultimately.
- take-home assessment (implement a class with business-logic)
- 2 tech interviews with average questions, they were looking for exact answers, not the reasoning
- culture-fit interview - describe your negative sides / failures
In a bottom line - very slow and sometimes it seems that they don't really want to hire someone - just routinely filling the forms
