HubSpot Software Engineer interview questions

1. There is an online assessment, it's the same question every year 2. There is then a behavioural interview, basic questions regarding how you work in a team, using STAR technique 3. Then there's the final technical round - the coding round was merging two arrays, super simple and basic. You need to consider all edge cases and lay them out and write out test cases. Everything needs to be perfect and quick in order to pass System design is regarding netflix, you get given requirements like: Customers should be able to browse the TV shows and movies we have in our catalog. We’ll list titles by genre and perhaps other categories like “recently added” or “top ten”. Customers should be able to play videos at different resolutions on different devices. We should remember the customer’s play position so they can finish a movie they started the day before. You have to be perfect with the system design, get the requirements down asap, draw out the diagram asap and describe everything in low detail, then you will be asked questions regarding aspects of the design e.g. what would API requests look like, what technologies to use, etc. Be quick and polished. I received a rejection for dumb arbitrary reasons, they're super tedious about the process and really care about you having everything down really perfect and polished. I know multiple other people to have been rejected for small reasons too, so you have to be quick and polished.
