I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at HubSpot (Dublin, Dublin) in Aug 2018
Interview
The interview process was very smooth. First there was an informal chat with a recruiter, then an informal chat with one of the team leads, then an assignment and a day of 3 interviews - 2 technical and 1 behavioral interview to mostly check if the candidate is a good cultural fit. Everyone was extremely nice, going above and beyond to make the interview day as stressless as possible.

Question 1
Assignment to pull the customers json, modify it a bit, then submit to an API. Should be completed in under 3 hours.
So glad that our team worked hard to ensure that you felt comfortable throughout your entire interview process, particularly when coming on-site for your final round of interviews. Thanks for taking the time to write a review about your positive experience, and welcome to HubSpot!
Best,

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.
Coding assessment with multiple levels. levels open up as you pass them. Time constraints looked tight. I could not get through all levels. It was related to Designing banking system.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at HubSpot (Dublin, Dublin)
Interview
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.
