I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HubSpot (Dublin, Dublin) in July 2024
Interview
Did an interview with a Director, Stephen. It was an entirely unacceptable experience. Having spent hours preparing for the interview and time getting through the initial two rounds, I then moved on to an interview with a Sales Director.
The Director was lying on his couch for the interview, which showed a complete lack of respect. He had also not researched me and had no idea of my background or experience. Despite being told throughout the process that Hubspot is open to people with a variety of experience - this Director was very blatant with his line of questioning and made it clear he was only interested in hiring a sales manager directly from another big name SAAS firm.
Really poor experience.

Interview
The interview process was clearly outlined from the beginning, so interviewers knew what to expect. The recruiter was very friendly and helpful, offering support with preparation and answering any questions I had.
Unfortunately, that was the extent of the friendliness I experienced during the process. Two of the three interviewers I met with, beyond the recruiter, came across as disengaged and gave the impression that interviewing was a burden. The third interviewer—who I was told was at the director level—was the most disappointing. Their tone and line of questioning felt unprofessional and dismissive.
I understand the importance of ensuring a candidate is a good fit for the organization, but a little compassion and empathy can go a long way. Interviewing is challenging, and you never know what circumstances have led someone to seek a new role.
I was genuinely excited about the opportunity after speaking with the recruiter and reading the company’s values online. However, those values felt like empty words based on the behavior of some of the employees I encountered.

Interview
Long and comprehensive. First steps are nice with the recruiter. Very helpful with the info and guidance they provide. Ask all the questions that might benefit you, such as "where would you say my weaknesses could be based on what you have seen in my profile so far".
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Hubspot? Don't say something about working at a remote first company or the culture. Has to be an intrinsic reason that the product/company is appealing.
