Process

Ah, I see you are checking Glassdoor for interview prep questions. Well, you came to the right place!

I scoured the internet over the past week to prep for this interview and want to give back to the community by sharing what to study and the exact process.

People at HubSpot were insanely nice and helpful during behavioral and technical interviews.

There were three interview rounds:

  1. A 3-hour coding assessment, which was fairly practical and a lot more enjoyable than a HackerRank test, like most tech companies do. Know how to get and post data to/from a URL.

  2. A behavioral interview that consisted of a lot of "Tell me about a time when...". It involved a fair bit of questions about working in teams (what you enjoy about being on a team, a time when you were on one, etc.).

  3. Two hours of back-to-back technical interviews.

    • The first is LeetCode Easy-type questions (merge sorted lists and cut to length k, and one where you find the most common substring in a string of length k). I don't think they change the questions up, honestly.
    • The second interview is entirely JavaScript. Make sure to know JavaScript inside and out. Check out javascript.info to study; it helped me a lot. For the JavaScript technical interview, study prototypes, rest parameters, inheritance, .call(), .apply(), .bind(), currying, and console.log function.
