Process
Age discrimination is virtually impossible to prove during an interview these days. But when you see there is practically no one over 40 (or even 35) at HubSpot, you can't help but ask:
Was it about my gray hair, or something else?
Questions
HubSpot uses the same questions. Look up from other reviewers and you will see the same questions from 3-4 years ago still being used without modification.

Corporate shift causing burnout
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
May 22, 2023
Pros: Wonderful people to work with. Excellent developer tooling. Compensation has improved significantly.
Cons: There have been quite a few high-impact people fired in recent months because they were doing "fine" for one quarter instead of exceeding expectations.
They get a PIP, no clear guidance for improving, are ignored by managers, and then fired after a month. These are people who have been around for years, previously did well enough to get promoted, and are now suddenly not good enough.
They built HubSpot, and their reward is being cut off when they stop burning their candle at both ends. Performance measurement has gone from being story-based to metrics-based, and it's hurting morale.
