SeatGeek interview questions

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.

Entire interview lasted about 2 weeks. It was one of the most pleasant interview experience I have had. Two phone calls + Four on-site interview with lunch in the middle. First two were coding on whiteboard, third was design, and last one was behavioral. The coding questions were fair, the design and behavioral sessions showed that the company is looking for people who are not only capable but are also passionate about their product. So it's better to know the product well before walking in. They are also very serious about cultural fit. Overall, interview process is structured and thorough. From my interactions with everyone there, they seem like an exciting startup with a supportive culture, so I debated really hard on whether or not to accept this offer, but in the end went with another, more so for personal reasons.
