Magic Spoon interview questions

The interview process was pretty drawn out. It involved multiple Zoom interviews with different members of the team, followed by a “2-hour project” that took double that—if not more. The ask was detailed, time-consuming. After that, I was invited to a 3-hour in-person interview that took place mid-day, mid-week, which wasn’t exactly easy to accommodate. The team was nice enough. If you’re applying, just know it’s a time commitment.

I had three interviews: the first was with the recruiter (phone screen) and the second was with the chief of Staff (Ben Donald). The feedback after each was overwhelmingly, glowingly positive. After that, I had a third interview, this time with the cofounder (Gabi Lewis). The feedback I received on my knowledge, energy, etc, was all, very positive, so I was given a prompt and an ask to present to Gabi. I was pressured to present very soon after the second interview, but then scheduling kept shifting and was moved last minute a few times. Finally, during the virtual presentation, Gabi was visibly distracted, kept walking away from the computer, and was clearly not paying attention.
