First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Eventbrite.
Customer Experience Specialist
It's a long and multi-layered interview process, which is good for the company 'cause it weeds out those who may not stay or work out longterm. First, I had a phone screening with a recruiter. Then, about a week later, I had a phone interview with the department head. After that, I went in person to the office for about 3 hours. This included 30-minute sessions with 5 different people from inside and outside the department. Finally, I had one more follow-up phone screening with the recruiter, and then I got hired. The whole thing took a little less than a month.

Customer Service Representative
I applied online with a strong cover letter, highlighting my qualifications for the Eventbrite role, which I was very enthusiastic about after my research. The first step was an online exam covering basic math, problem-solving, and handling real-life customer scenarios, which I felt went well. Next, I had a phone interview. Unfortunately, the interviewer seemed disengaged from the start and lacked enthusiasm, which was unusual for me. Despite this, I remained positive and friendly throughout the interview, which included a mock customer service call. I made a small error initially, which was explained. After this, I was told I'd be contacted for an in-person interview. However, a few days later, I received an email stating I lacked the required experience, which was confusing given my background. I later suspected this might be related to the company's lack of diversity, as noted on their blog. I tried to inquire about what I was missing for future reference, but received no response. It felt like my name and perceived ethnicity impacted my chances.
- Can you tell me about a time you dealt with a difficult customer and how you managed the situation?
Customer Service Representative
They gave me some questions to answer before the phone interview. Then, I had a phone interview. After that, I had a one-on-one interview on-site. It was supposed to be with the HR director, VP of Customer Experience, and the Customer Support team, but the support team was busy, so I didn't end up meeting them. It felt a bit unprofessional to cancel at the last minute. The office was open, and it seemed like a typical tech company, not as exciting as Facebook or Google, but it looked like a positive work culture and environment.
- Can you describe a time a customer was very upset, including the details of the situation and how you resolved it?
