J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez HubSpot (Cambridge, MA) en oct. 2019
Entretien
I found their job posting online and was emailed a coding challenge a few days later. You were given three hours to complete the following problem: You must hit a unique api to receive json data, modify and analyze the data, and then generate json in a specific format and post the data back to a different url. If the data was formatted correctly it responded with a 200 and you were told to zip up your code and upload it.
After the coding challenge I was asked to schedule a phone screen with a recruiter. They asked common questions about my experience, why hubspot, why ____, etc. At the end of the phone screen I was told the next step if I make it will be a final round on site interview, and that they will let me know of their decision in a week or so.
I ended up getting to the final round interview. It was four parts. First part was a a tour of their office, second was a technical interview with a CS question about n-grams that could be programmed in any language of my choosing. The third interview was half behavioral half javascript specific, focusing on prototype inheritance, closures, etc. The last section was a wrap up about my interview experience and any suggestions, salary expectations, other outstanding offers, etc.
A few days later I was given a phone call and given an offer that exceeded my expectations

Entretien
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.

J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. J'ai passé un entretien chez HubSpot (Dublin, Dublin)
Entretien
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.
