      Event Expert (Portland) Interview

      Nov 23, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Portland, OR
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SeatGeek (Portland, OR) in Nov 2015

      Interview

      Avoid this company. They are not looking for qualified professionals, but rather you are rushing a frat. I went through a pleasant interview process, including a phone interview and a Skype interview, knowing I had three times the experience of any of their event experts. (This is easily researchable by looking up their LinkedIn profiles.) Instead of delving into my e-commerce experience and discussing my skills, I was asked unrelated questions such as what I like to do around Portland and what I would do with unlimited money for a day. In the end I was told I had been edged out by exceptional competition which turned out to be a lie, because they had reposted the job within a week. I’ve since realized that experience and skill set are not of importance to this company. I suggest that if you make it to the Skype interview, make sure you dress like a hipster, and when they ask you what you like to do, tell them you hunt vinyl at Mississippi Records and buy vintage at the Pop Up Shop. This company is all about appearances. They are not interested in what you actually like doing. They are only interested in what they think is cool. The skills you’ve worked hard to hone have no bearing on the interview process with SeatGeek.

      Event Expert - Portland Interview

      Aug 26, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Portland, OR
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at SeatGeek (Portland, OR) in Aug 2016

      Interview

      This company was a huge let down. I was very excited to see the Event Expert role, spent an hour and a half applying - tests, plus lengthy written questions, as well as a 30 minute telephone interview, and received a very curt, and quite frankly somewhat rude email saying "we've decided that you're not the right fit." For someone who invested a lot of time applying, and found this company and it's culture to be appealing and welcoming to be a part of, there could've be a much better way of letting invested candidates down. Perhaps try saying "We've decided to move forward with other candidates" instead of "you're not the right fit, see ya." Treating your candidates with more respect should be of importance to you, and based on other previous interviewees, I'm not alone in this thinking.
