Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 6 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso HubSpot (Boston, MA) nel mese di ott 2019
Colloquio
I applied online and got contacted by Bridget, the most prompt recruiter you'll meet. I was sent a coding assessment - involving APIs and data structures - that I completed, and a week or two later got selected for a phone screen(behavioral). A week from that, I got selected for an onsite. I was nervous about this being my first technical interview but the interviewers were very accommodating, and the interviews conversational. There were two parts: system design and coding (you can choose any language and any environment). 10 minutes into the first part, I realized that this was turning into a great learning process regardless of how I do, opened up and ended up having most rewarding experience of the month.

Given two sorted lists and k, find k lowest elements from the two lists.
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

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.

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.
