I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SeatGeek in Feb 2020
Interview
For the interviews, there is the standard phone screen, technical screen and multi-interview onsite. I do not make it pass the technical phone screen. My phone screen with SeakGeek was fantastic! I really got great vibes about the culture. The technical phone screen was awkward. I had one interviewer and one observer. The questions were fairly straightforward. However, I didn't feel like I was getting much feedback from the interviewer except when I did something incorrect or unexpected.
Overall, the process went okay. If I had a different interviewer for technical screen, I feel I might had a better experience.

Question 1
Using a CSV file with data, make API calls to server.
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).

Interview questions [1]
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
