Behavioral Technical
I had two calls - first a chill one to talk about jobs with the lead dev, then another with HR to go over my background, experience, and if I'd fit culturally. HR was supposed to set up an in-person to meet the team and do a technical challenge. But the HR person who was supposed to arrange this never got back to me. Super unprofessional. I was really keen on working at Tiqets and now I definitely won't recommend anyone else interview with them.

Behavioral Technical Coding System Design
It was a pretty standard process. I had an initial HR call, and then they invited me for the main interview, which lasted about 3.5 hours and involved meeting with several people from different teams. I thought their approach was great because they were assessing both technical skills and cultural fit. We chatted about my previous work, focusing on challenges I encountered and how I overcame them. It was a good conversation with the technical folks. They also threw an algorithm question at me, which I managed to solve on paper in about 15 minutes. After that, we dove into code discussions, talking about complexities and areas for enhancement. I'm not a huge fan of coding on paper, but they acknowledged this and made me feel pretty comfortable throughout.
