I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HubSpot (Dublin, Dublin) in Jun 2018
Interview
A screener, a timed coding challenge, and a gauntlet of interviews. Pretty standard. I will say that I was nervous and perhaps if I had answered the earliest questions the way I had answered the latter ones, I might have gotten an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give an example of a time you have faced a certain situation and what you did to overcome it. Each question is focused on a particular attribute such as effectiveness, teaching & learning, empathy, adaptability, & humbleness.
Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Our process is definitely challenging and I appreciate the time and energy you invested in it. Best of luck in your job search and I hope we have a chance to reconnect with you in the future! Best, Becky
Other Software Engineer Interview Reviews for HubSpot
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at HubSpot (London, England)
Interview
I went through several rounds, including an initial screening, a technical assessment, and follow-up interviews. The process was well structured, but I found the technical part challenging because it required both problem-solving and clear communication under time pressure. The interviewers were professional, and the questions were relevant to the role. Although I did not receive an offer, the experience was still valuable and helped me understand the company’s expectations better.
Coding assessment with multiple levels. levels open up as you pass them. Time constraints looked tight. I could not get through all levels. It was related to Designing banking system.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at HubSpot (Dublin, Dublin)
Interview
Consists of an Online Assessment, followed by 3 rounds (2 System Design, 1 coding)
One of the System Design interviewer was less experienced (with an experienced shadow interviewer). I feel like they didn't drive it correctly, didn't ask me the right follow-up questions and eventually gave negative feedback.
