Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso HubSpot (Cambridge, MA) nel mese di mar 2025
Colloquio
The interview process at HubSpot was structured into three main stages:
Initial Screening & Take-Home Assessment
The process began with a resume screening, followed by a take-home assignment. The assignment involved fetching data from API endpoints, processing it using appropriate data structures, and posting the output. It could be completed in any programming language and had a time limit of three hours. The recruiter contacted me two days after submitting the assessment.
Behavioral Interview with Recruiter (30 minutes)
The behavioral round focused on questions such as receiving and giving feedback, collaborating with peers from diverse backgrounds, motivation for applying to HubSpot, long-term career goals (e.g., where I see myself in five years), and discussions around logistics and compensation.
Final Interviews – Technical Rounds
The final stage consisted of two one-hour coding interviews. These focused on:
Solving LeetCode-style problems (mostly easy to medium difficulty)
Frontend JavaScript concepts including memoization, closures, console.log behaviors, rest/spread parameters, and the prototype
I prepared for these rounds by practicing on LeetCode and found a HubSpot-specific coach through Prepfully. The coaching sessions helped me refine how to articulate my thought process during technical interviews and were incredibly helpful overall.

Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso HubSpot (Londra, Inghilterra)
Colloquio
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.
Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso HubSpot (New York, NY)
Colloquio
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.
Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso HubSpot (Dublino, Dublino)
Colloquio
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.
