Personally was a bit disappointed about the whole process after having such high expectations for Hubspot and their culture based of what I read here. I applied and was contacted by a recruiter to schedule an initial interview. Spent a lot of time researching their value proposition and learning about the company in general since I wasn’t previously aware of Hubspot. On the day of the interview, the recruiter emailed an hour before the interview to reschedule to the next day (even though this was booked a week prior) which I agreed. On the day of the interview, the recruiter was late and only called after I sent a follow up email. At that point I felt a decision had been made prior to the call and the interview was just going to be a formal procedure. Through out the call I felt the recruiter was very disinterested. Possibly the shortest interview of my life; I was asked 4 questions which lasted 10 minutes then asked her some questions after. Please respect every candidates time because each person puts a lot into preparing for an interview.

Those were the most impersonal interviews I’ve ever had in my life. The interviewers asked their questions in a very robotic way, making it extremely difficult to show any personality. There are two role-plays during the process, and while feedback is generally well-received, for the second one—which is a demo—the interviewer told me that in real life, it usually lasts 45 minutes to an hour. Since we only had 20 minutes, it was naturally hard to cover everything, and we were forced to cut things short. I’m quite disappointed by the lack of a human touch. During my last interview, the interviewer, who is a Senior Sales Manager, was yawning and rolling her eyes. I find that disrespectful, considering I spent hours and days preparing, and it has been such a long process.
