J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez HubSpot
Entretien
The whole interview process was super straightforward and standard for the position. I started talking to the recruiter after I applied online. I got a take-home challenge. Then, I went on-site.
During the on-site, you can feel what is like to work at HubSpot, the hostility is palpable. In one of the the interviews, the interviewer was extremely condescending and was constantly patronizing me.
Later on, another interviewer asked me a simple coding challenge and just walked out of the room afterwards. No follow up question, nor giving me a chance to ask questions. We finished with 30mins of spare, so it’s not like he was late for another meeting or something.
The interview with the hiring manager was not any better. He was constantly interrupting me while trying to answer questions and was constantly dismissive towards my prior experience.
I wouldn’t recommend anybody I know interview here. It was overall a very uncomfortable/cringe set of interviews.

J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. J'ai passé un entretien chez HubSpot (Londres, Angleterre)
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.

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.
