Recruiter reached out to me after I applied for the position. Had a 20mn call, completed the coding assessment. Got 200 response and submitted my code via a link provided.
And then nothing. Ghosted by the recruiter. Total time waste. It's been 3 weeks. Spent 3 hrs on the coding challenge. It's minimum courtesy to let the candidate know if they want to move forward or not.

Question 1
Get api response from a link, modify the data and post it to an endpoint given.
Sorry to hear this, and thanks for flagging--I will ensure our tech recruitment team sees this and ideally can respond to give you clarity on the path forward either way.

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.
