First, a recruiter reached out to me about the role. After I expressed interest, I had a phone screen within a few days to discuss what I'm looking for, some previous experience, my preferred tech stack, and why HubSpot.

The next step was completing a timed online coding assessment, in which applicants were allowed to use any language. I believe you need to complete the challenge in time in order to proceed with the interview process (thankfully I did!). It took me a few days to hear back from the recruiter, so I was nervous!

But finally, I heard back and scheduled the virtual on-site interview (virtual because it was 2020).

The final interview took place over multiple back-to-back Zoom sessions (4-5 hours) with 6-8 different interviewers. In summary, the different parts were:

• A first technical portion (some coding related to general JS knowledge)
• Discussing previous work experience/projects with the Engineering Lead
• A second technical portion (more in-depth coding, problem-solving, involving some data structure/complexity knowledge)
• A product-related prompt (based on a doc I received a few days prior to prepare). This portion was unique compared to other interviews, and I liked it a lot. It gave me insight into the kind of work and gave interviewers insight into the way I think and approach problems in more than a purely technical way.
• A Q/A wrap-up with the recruiter

All my interviewers were great, and their personalities ranged from generally friendly to very friendly and enthusiastic.
