I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HubSpot (Cambridge, MA) in Feb 2022
Interview
I applied to Hubspot through a referral, and although it took around a week for the recruiter to follow up, the process was smooth and very fast-moving, with the fantastic recruiter Olivia following up exactly when she said she would on next steps (a huge asset in this talent market). There were 3 steps I went through:
1. Recruiter screening ("getting to know you" call) discussion of background, why Hubspot, etc.
2. Discussion with CSM Manager - a little deeper on my background and experience as a CSM and further elaboration on "why Hubspot"
3. Four back-to-back interviews with CSM managers and Sr. CSMs, each focused on a certain trait or behavior - expected to come prepared with STAR format answers, but also pivot when they ask you further questions on the situation. Last of the four was a presentation based on a case study.
Bonus round: I was offered a feedback call to cover feedback from the panel interview and on my overall fit as a candidate for the role and company.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
-Why Hubspot? (make sure you have this answer down pat with plenty of elaborative points, and be GENUINE)
-A few non-STAR behavioral questions on how you prioritize your work, how you're measured, how to communicate in certain situations, why you did what you did/how you got it done in relation to STAR stories

Interview
They do not respect your time at all. I went through the interview process, got nothing but positive feedback along the way, and then after what was supposed to be the final interview, they put everything on hold and just kept me waiting. After over a month they came back and asked for another interview even though I had completed the process. 2 days after that I got the generic "thanks but no thanks" rejection. Keeping someone on the hook for over a month and not giving an actual reason is so inconsiderate. Just know that your time will not be respected and do not get your hopes up even if they give you nothing but positive feedback.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at HubSpot in Aug 2025
Interview
Only went throught the initial screening call with the recruiter, and it was an awkward experience. There were zero pleasantries on their end before jumping right into it, and the first thing they said was "to be honest, we have a lot of applicants for this role and had to renove the post from our careers site..." This felt immediately dismissive of my chances at moving forward, all before even learning more about me and my experience. I understand the market is very competitive right now, and them wanting to be transparent, but this didn't set a possitive tone for the rest of the conversation, on top of them being not very friendly from the start.

Interview
4 step process that involves a phone screen, and interview with two managers, a role-play and three interviews with three different managers back to back. Very lengthy with specific criteria that they’re after.
