I applied online. I interviewed at HubSpot (Boston, MA) in Sept 2020
Interview
Applied in mid September and received a response about 1-2 weeks later.
1. You're first given an online assessment. Their online assessment consisted of sending a GET request to one endpoint to receive a bunch of data; then you process the data and sort through it (specified in the problem) and POST it back to another endpoint. You're given 3 hours to complete the online assessment, where they grade the assessment based on completion, time, and code readability.
2. Two days after taking the online assessment, I was invited for a 20 minute HR screening that asked fairly typical interview questions (see below). I was rejected here for whatever reason; I felt that my answers were good, but it seems that this year was extra competitive (most likely due to 2020's covid situation).
3. After the HR screening, I believe you have 2 one hour back to back technical interviews. According to the recruiter, these rounds were to be held in late October. I did not make it to these rounds.

Question 1
1. Describe a time you gave criticism to somebody.
2. Describe a time you had to explain something technical to some person.
3. What's the best part about working in a team, and what's the worst part about working in a team?
The process began with an intial online coding challenge that was about 2-3 hours long through their own platform, and then a behavioral phone screen which lasted about 15 min.
