I had an interview with HR over the phone. Then I had a second phone call with an Executive. It was a pretty easy process and both calls with Makovsky staff were pleasant. They really emphasized writing and communication skills, and a lot of the interview is about fit. I think they hire more based on fit than how technically sound your skills are. Like with any job, finding a connection to the company is the best way to get an offer.

It was a whole process with interviews on different days and weeks, plus a writing test. The whole thing took about two months until they offered me the job. After the first month, I was sure I didn't get it. But then they called me back about a month and a half later for a final interview and gave me an offer right at the two-month mark. The HR person offered me the salary, and I tried to negotiate. It didn't really go well. They yelled, and I almost backed out. They said if I didn't accept, I'd lose the offer.

HR was super responsive after I applied and set up a phone interview quickly. I met the team in person the following week and really enjoyed the interactions. I've always admired Makovsky and wanted to work there. Sadly, I didn't have quite enough experience for the Senior Account Executive role at this time, but they've kept in touch and I'm keen to stay connected for future opportunities.

The interview experience started great, lots of promises were made and it was very energizing, I was extremely excited. I met with 3 different people and the whole process took about 2-3 hours. I wish I knew then what I know now...
