Make Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was quite extensive, consisting of four rounds (HR, manager/director, technical panel with a team and VP). While the technical challenge was interesting and relevant, the overall experience was disappointing due to the lack of transparency and efficiency. After completing the final round, I was kept in the dark for a full week without any updates, despite previous promises of a prompt decision. The process concluded with a generic, non-specific rejection email stating that the team simply "chose someone else" without any constructive feedback, despite confirming my technical skills were sufficient. Be prepared for a long and slow process and make sure to manage your other opportunities in parallel and don't pause your job search for them.

This role felt like a great fit initially, but it didn't work out with this company. The first interview with HR didn't happen as scheduled. However, I moved on to speak with the hiring manager, and that conversation went really well. I felt a good connection, which is rare. After that, there was silence for over a week. I sent a polite follow-up to HR. About ten minutes later, I got a generic automated rejection email, which was disappointing.

The hiring process at Make.com was pretty long, like a month and a half, and felt a bit all over the place. It had five parts: a first product test, then an HR chat, followed by meeting the hiring manager, then another technical test, and finally a face-to-face interview. The product is cool and could lead to interesting projects, and they did say my technical skills were good. But, it took forever with lots of stages that needed a lot of my time and energy. Communication was also bad, I had to chase them up a bunch and the recruiter kept apologizing for delays. It felt unprofessional when the face-to-face interview started with just chatting about football and how much the interviewer liked Cristiano Ronaldo. They also weren't clear about salary, just saying my expectations were 'doable' without any real details. They told me I'd meet the team leader next, but then hit me with another technical test. The tests were tough and seemed more like training than something for a pre-employment check. After all that time, even with good feedback on my tech skills, they picked an internal person.

For a senior role, I went through 4 rounds of interviews/connects: recruiter, hiring manager, potential future team, one of the founders of the company. Each round was 30-60 minutes and included conversations about experiences, background, motivation, previous success stories and challenges. After each round I received feedback/outcome within a few days (2-3 days). The overall process was very well explained to me, the atmosphere was casual, friendly and very positive. The process gave me a thorough insight into the office space and company's culture.
