After the initial conversation with recruiter, got an online code assessment invitation, it's a realistic like question asks how to fetch data from the server, parse and transform the data to the desired output and send back to the server. Then met with the hire manager but I was failed at this round since the hire manager felt not match the role in the team.

Question 1
What's your most challenge project?
What's your most difficult technical challenge?
I applied online. I interviewed at HubSpot in Feb 2026
Interview
- Recruiter screening ; briefly discusses the role and asks why you're seeking employment at Hubspot.
- Codesignal: 90 minute code screen. Implement a task management system in four phases. While Hubspot encourages use of AI, use of these tools for the code challenge is strictly forbidden - clearly showing that the hiring team has a severe case of cognitive dissonance.
Based on the feedback from several Hubspot employees on Blind, the TL/TL2 roles should be avoided at all costs. Many existing Hubspot employees state that verbal abuse is rife at the firm and that the tech lead role is setup for failure because its expected the role will be half engineering manager half IC without commensurate pay.
Great interviews and overall a pretty standard process.
OA -> LC/Systems Design -> Tech Deep dive
Provided feedback even though I didn't get an offer, so would recommend their process regardless.
