I applied online. I interviewed at HubSpot (Cambridge, MA) in Apr 2021
Interview
I applied and passed the coding assessment. I had a follow up call with the recruiter who said we'd be moving on to the next round and she would be in touch to set that up. She did mention that she would be out of office the upcoming week, but that her colleague would reach out in the meantime to keep things moving along. Never heard back from either one after that call, and it's been over 3 weeks.
I accepted a position elsewhere, but it's truly baffling how this kind of stuff keeps happening with HubSpot recruiting.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Follow-up call with the recruiter was centered around my desire to return to HubSpot (I am a previous HubSpot employee). Tech assessment was the same as described in other Glassdoor reviews
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.
