Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en HubSpot (Cambridge, MA) en sept 2025
Entrevista
The first step was the Online Assessment, then it was a behavioral interview with the HR (30 mins). It was a basic get to know call with some questions like why hubspot, tell me about a time when questions. Go through the values of the company and try to make your answers it in a STAR format. Next round was an on-site consisting of 2 rounds. One was System design (netflix obviously) and the next one was a coding HTTP round. The HTTP one was similar to the API OAs that were previously used by HubSpot but easier than that. The bar is really high if you make even 1 mistake in sys design you're out.

Entrevista
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.
Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. Acudí a una entrevista en HubSpot (Dublín, Dublín)
Entrevista
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.
