Interview
The HubSpot interview process was the most enjoyable interview process of any company I applied for.
It starts with a coding challenge which is actually a very practical task that is related to the work you will be doing. If you pass you will have 2 one-hour interviews one after the other which consist in turn of coding/algorithm questions, and architecture questions.
During the interviewing process, both the recruiters and the people conducting the interview made me feel comfortable at all times and facilitated breaks for me. They encouraged me to take a few minutes between the interviews to grab some water and maybe use the bathroom, which is something I might have not asked for myself but it was actually quite needed.
After these 2 interviews I got an email from the recruiter to ask me if we can schedule a call, and during the call they gave me an offer.

Question 1
The coding and architecture questions were your classic interview questions where your knowledge about fundamentals of data structures, algorithms and software architecture are assessed.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HubSpot (Boston, MA) in Oct 2025
Interview
The interview process was two hours long. One hour JavaScript technical and one hour coding technical. Overall, chill interviewers and the questions were fair game. I would go through other posts on glassdoor.

I had one of the best interviewing experiences. it started with an OA involving API calls, followed by a thoughtful behavioral round, a LeetCode-style coding challenge, and a system design interview. The recruiter was incredibly kind and communicative throughout, and all the interviewers were chill, and helpful.
The interview process was really quick. A coding problem gets sent to you, then recruiter interview and last round is 2 1 hour meetings with an engineer. One was system design and other was leetcode easy/medium
