Sarah the recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. After that, the process was: Initial phone interview, Online Assessment, 2nd phone interview with the Sales Manager, In Person interview with the Sales Manager and Hiring Manager, and then the Decision / Offer. The whole interview process was quick and efficient. Every person I met was courteous, friendly, professional and genuine. It was a great insight to the working environment at MakeSpace. I would recommend anyone I know to this company. Reason for declining: personal, but it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the role or company. This place is amazing!!

Coding Behavioral
I applied on LinkedIn and a recruiter reached out in about a week. We had a call to discuss the company and open roles. Then, I spoke with a hiring manager who went over the job details, what they expect, and their current products. After that, I had a tech screen with Karat IO. It was an hour long, with two coding questions. They were pretty simple, mainly about parsing strings and creating an aggregated output. I managed to complete one and explained my approach for the second before time ran out. I messaged the recruiter two days later for an update, but they never got back to me. Totally ghosted, no info on my application.

- Can you parse a list of parts (strings) and a list of required parts for a product to determine all the products that can be built? This involves matching strings and tracking the parts needed for each product.

Behavioral Technical Coding
It was a pretty standard interview process. Started with a recruiter phone screen, then a video call with the CTO, followed by a live coding challenge. After that, there were a series of behavioral interviews. The technical challenge was okay, not too hard but not too easy. I didn't even finish it, but I think my explanation of the solution was good enough to move forward. I didn't end up getting an offer, but I really enjoyed interviewing there. Everyone was super friendly and seemed genuinely passionate about their work. The main downside was the duration of the whole thing; it stretched over a month. But they were hiring for a lot of roles at the time, so I guess they were just swamped.

So first I had a phone call with the team supervisor, it felt like a get-to-know-you thing. Then about a week later, I went in for an interview with the head of HR, three different managers, and one of the founders. They all gave me a different idea of the job. A couple weeks after that, I had a video interview with the CEO, who was trying to make me say bad things about myself, but I was good. Then they did a reference check. I got the job offer in the end. It was a really long and hard interview process for an entry-level job.

MakeSpace Interview Questions
Quoted word for word from MakeSpace interview reports.
“Given a JSON file with geographic points (latitude, longitude, id), create a Python script that accepts an integer 'n'. The script should read the file and output the IDs of the points, divided into 'n' groups, into a file named 'groups.json'. This output file should be a list of lists, containing dictionaries similar to the original points.”
