Lengthy interview process, but fair and well thoughtout. They make sure you are aware of what the position entails and that you are the appropriate fit. There is an assesment portion.

After an initial interview with a HubSpot recruiter I was pumped for my next interview. My initial recruiter asked me what my salary requirement was, and when I responded "70k", she said that this was a starting salary for only senior-level positions, and she would let the next hiring manager know that my interview would change to involve more technical questions for a senior-level role. After reviewing the qualifications for a senior-level role , I knew I definitely did not have the skillset down just yet, as I am currently learning CSS, HTML, and JS. I let the next hiring manager know at the beginning of the interview that I really wanted to start an entry-level position and grow into the role. When I got my feedback back from the interview, it was described as a "little unusual to say". This feedback is certainly confusing because I really just wanted to interview for the position I applied for originally, not a senior-level role. My only inkling is that the recruiter never told the hiring manager that I was interviewing for a senior-level role, as she was going on vacation the week of my interview. I can imagine it would catch any hiring manager off guard to mention salary right off the bat, but my intention was to clarify which role I was interviewing for. Unfortunately, I really do feel this put me at a disadvantage in the process, so overall it wasn't a great experience. .
