I applied online. I interviewed at HubSpot (Seattle, WA)
Interview
I was genuinely excited to speak with HubSpot because of everything I’d heard about their culture and values. But the phone screen with the recruiter didn’t match that at all. The call felt rushed and impersonal. The audio wasn’t great, and the recruiter spoke so fast it was hard to keep up. It honestly felt like she wasn’t interested and was just going through a checklist.
I had taken the time to prepare and came into the call with a lot of respect for the company, but the conversation didn’t feel like a two-way dialogue. It left me feeling dismissed rather than evaluated. For a company known for caring about people, this felt pretty disappointing.

Interview with Manager (mock disco)
Interview with another Manager (mock solution presentation)
Interview with your Sales Director (pretty easy, be human, we talked about fishing)
The two managers you get can make or break you getting in as some are tougher than others.
Multiple meetings and material to review for your interview stages. Be prepared to take 5 hours out of your work day to join the interview prep calls and meetings. Total time dedicated to interviews and preparation time roughly 10 hours.

Super friendly people. Direct and they genuinely believe in adding strong people to their team. I had 2 rounds after which I was rejected.
It’s definitely a nice company to be at. They also encourage to keep trying.
