The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Ticket Evolution (New York, NY) in May 2018
Interview
I'm a Rails developer who doesn't spend a lot of time working in a pure Ruby environment. For that reason I didn't perform as well as I needed during the tech evaluation using CodePen, the online code editor.
I was thoroughly impressed with the company; they have a focused business model with momentum, they are patiently growing the team as they find the right candidates. I highly recommend interviewing here.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ticket Evolution (New York, NY) in Feb 2017
Interview
My experience interviewing with Ticket Evolution was a great experience. Their methods for interviewing was very fair and I believe many companies should follow their example.
The first stage of the interview process was a phone conversation with Brent, their VP of Engineering. This phone call included a information section where Brent goes into detail about the company which is followed by some basic technical questions around Ruby & Rails. At the end of this first phone call, Brent gave me great feedback and scheduled another phone call with another senior developer from Ticket Evolution.
The second phone call was more technical in nature and delved into more details about Rails. Questions ranged from internals of Rails to 'how would you' situation questions. This was a great experience as the senior developer helped me when I struggled at points.
The last stage of the interview process was a on-site interview. I met with the team for introductions followed by a coding and white boarding (architecture) exercise. During both exercises, the team was very supportive of me and provided me with assistance during times of struggle.
In summary, my experience interviewing with Ticket Evolution was great. They are supportive and interested in helping you throughout the process. Excellent!

I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Ticket Evolution (Plano, TX) in Dec 2014
Interview
I walked into the office with my resume. I met with the office manager ans the interview went well. Nothing too out of the ordinary. He intimated that I needed to speak with the GM before I could be hired, but it turns out that I had the job. When I went back to talk with the GM, they expected me to work that day. So...a little weird.
