I had a two calls - first a casual one to discuss possible positions with the lead developer, then a follow up call with HR to discuss my background, experience and cultural fit. The HR interviewer was supposed to schedule an in-person interview to meet the team and also conduct a technical challenge.
The HR interviewer who was supposed to arrange this never followed up or emailed me back. I find this completely unprofessional. I was excited about the possibility of working at Tiqets and now I will not refer any colleagues to interview with them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is my experience, what types of teams do I work with, career goals
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tiqets (Amsterdam) in Feb 2020
Interview
It took place in 3 steps:
1. phone screening,
2. online test (in codility),
3. three round of on-site interviews - around 3.5h long (1.5h more in depth tech interview, 1h tech related interview including review of the online test, 1h talk with Product owners - more behavioral interview).
All people contacting/interviewing me were very friendly and respectful.
A nice thing is that the could group the onsite interviews so you have to do them all in a day.

Question 1
What happens when you type and request a url on the browser?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tiqets (Amsterdam) in Dec 2019
Interview
The interview was a three-step process:
1) An introductory phone-screening interview
2) A homework task
3) On-site interview
The homework task was not very difficult, but the focus was more on coding style and quality. I would certainly use some time on the task to ensure that your solution is well organized and tested.
The on-site interview was pretty tough. In total it took 3.5 hours and consisted of three phases. The first two interviews were technical and the last interview evaluated cultural fit.
