      Software Engineer Interview

      16 Oct 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cambridge, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HubSpot (Cambridge, MA) in Oct 2017

      Interview

      To sum it up this is a company with very high standards of BS. 1) I completed my OO round in 30 mins he did not have anything to ask then he started talking about their open source projects, 2) I did the code in 20 mins while explaining my process line by line then another 10 mins for debugging and covering the corner cases after which he said "I think the code is perfectly fine and would work in all scenarios" then he told me about his team. 3) The system design was clean and readable to which I got a feedback from the interviewer that "this is a really good design and it would scale really well". Still rejected and the reason that they gave me was hilarious "your code (Interview 2) was not fast enough (I did it in O(n). If the interviewer can do it in less time then he should quit Hubspot and open his own startup)".

      Question 1

      Coding round: hit API get JSON manipulate it and hit again to get 200 response.

      Hi there, thanks for taking the time to write a review and I'm sorry you didn't have great experience interviewing with us. We consider a number of aspects of performance in the interview process, including speed to complete and run the code but also the quality - how effective the candidate is in problem solving and considering edge cases in real time versus continually finding bugs. If you feel as though you didn't receive adequate feedback, please email me directly at beckym at hubspot dot com and I'd be happy to connect you with someone on our team who can review your code and interviews again and provide more comprehensive feedback. Thanks again for taking the time to write a review and pushing us to get better in how we offer feedback. Best, Becky

      London, England

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at HubSpot (London, England)

      Interview

      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.
