Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Boston, Massachusetts
Process
This review is for the USA SWE Summer Intern 2025 FE role. I applied through RippleMatch and then received an invitation to complete the online assessment, which is quite different from other OAs I had in previous internship applications. If you're reading this, I believe you know what I am talking about.
After a successful submission, I received an email to schedule a recruiter screening. This was a Zoom call without a camera, to evaluate my culture and behavior fit, along with some logistical details.
After that, I advanced to the final round, which consisted of two interviews. Since I was recruiting for FE, I had to do a coding interview and a JavaScript interview.
Questions
- Why choose HubSpot?
- Have you ever had a conflict with your team, and how did you handle it?
- Merge Two Sorted Lists
- The JavaScript interview was just strange. Think of it as a way to showcase your JavaScript skills. For example, you might be asked to implement a "message logger" and then asked how to implement it using prototypes in JavaScript.

- 1.0Engineering Leadership Just Does Not CareSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeBoston, Massachusetts, United StatesJuly 7, 2025Pros: The pay is nice, and the 401k and health benefits are nice.Cons: The engineering culture has been completely gutted by a leadership that just doesn't care about its employees. They've implemented arbitrary "developer metric goals" across the organization, regardless of the nature of each team's work. All of the greatest perks of working here have been stripped away. Tons of ICs, and even managers, have complained about all the problems, but leadership continues to ignore them. All the "squeaky wheels" are either fired or made so miserable that they quit. Everyone is burning out, and nobody in a position to do anything about it cares.
- 2.0Not the company it used to beSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeBoston, Massachusetts, United StatesApril 15, 2025Pros: Still great pay and great remote benefits.Cons: Truly changed as a company. Used to have an amazing culture. Now it is pretty much Amazon.
