The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HubSpot
Interview
The process is extremely thorough. It’s great that they’re thorough, but 4-5 interviews for a 65k base salary job for someone with 4 years of SaaS experience is a waste of time.
65k base 79k variable with 5-10k sign on bonus. The next year you’re at 65k base though…
They just ask the same questions in a million different ways and you’re supposed to have a different answer each time. Then they say they felt it was scripted..? The deals I closed are the deals I closed. Nothing scripted about it. Kind of ridiculous and a waste of time for such a low salary.

Interview
The phone screen was great. I really liked the recruiter and she left a positive impact on me.
However, the next interview did not leave me with that feeling. For a position like this, I would think they'd come up with better questions instead of those typical scenario questions. Look at my resume, ask me about my experience, and not "what would I do in this situation...", or "how did I handle a tough time...". Hubspot highlights their culture so heavily and there was nothing in this interview that I felt honored that.
This interview was very elementary and the interviewee was so uninterested and belittling throughout our call.

Interview
The person that interviewed me had done an awful job. My Phone call was scheduled for 6:15 and I received no call or email. I then emailed the recruiter at 6:27 ( If I didn't email the recruiter I would have never received a phone call) .
The recruiter replied :
Would you mind sending me a number that works? I tried calling you.
I made a test call to my phone it worked fine. She called me a 6:32.
