Behavioral screening with the recruiter, then a 2 round technical interview. 1 leetcode easy question and 1 design question. Small behavioral questions at the end of each technical portion. One final call with the recruiter ~1 day after the technical interview for feedback and final questions
Me postulé a través de un reclutador. Acudí a una entrevista en HubSpot (Boston, MA) en sept 2020
Entrevista
There first was a coding challenge which involved getting data from an API, manipulating that data, and sending it back. After that, I had a non-technical phone screen which lasted 30 minutes. Finally, there was a final-round interview where I met with two engineers for one hour each.

Pregunta 1
General algorithms/coding questions, as well as some questions about past work experience.
Everything posted is correct for the backend Co-Op. This interview is easy to crack if you prepare using the already posted behavioral responses and practice star. Algorithm interview was a joke and the system design part felt like the expectations were not super high.

Pregunta 1
Tell me about the challenges/benefits of working on a team.
Design a weather system.
Array algorithmic question.
First recruiter did not respond at all to me in appropriate time. Eventually, another recruiter started answering my emails (I think the first one was affected by the layoffs) and then after a month and asking the recruiter for more details since I had other offers, I got sent a generic rejection email after a 30 min phone call I had with the first recruiter more than a month ago. Very terrible process and disorganized recruiters and I was very disappointed because I expected more from Hubspot. A rejection after a phone screening shouldn’t take a whole month.
