I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at HubSpot (Cambridge, MA) in Feb 2018
Interview
One of the smoothest and fastest hiring process I have been through. The whole process from phone screening to group panel was very enjoyable. It started with a call with an HR person, then went through an online coding challenge before an in person 5 hour interview.
Thanks for the feedback! Our technical hiring team is world-class, so glad to hear you felt the experience was enjoyable end to end, that means the world to us. By now I'm guessing you've joined our team--I hope we make you proud that you joined HubSpot after a great interview experience, we are so glad you're here! Sincerely, Katie
Other Software Engineer interview reviews for HubSpot
I applied through 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.
