Okay, I usually don't do this, but it's important to call out the level of hypocrisy that I experienced during my brief contact with the company.

There are a lot of posts here that share my experience, so I am doing nothing more but probably just validating their outcries.

THE SAME: Phone conversation with the recruiter. We discussed what I was looking for, what their company values are, how transparent and open their culture is, yada yada yada. And then they said I seemed like a good fit, so I was sent a link to their coding challenge (Yes, it's the same one that everyone got here. Scheduling problem where you have to get availability dates from a GET endpoint and post dates where most people can attend a conference on a country-by-country basis).

I solved the challenge in under their required time. I uploaded my code, and then the status in my candidate portal was updated as "Success! You're all set, we'll be in touch soon."

And then, of course, no points for guessing what happened next. Nobody touched base after that, and even after my constant follow-ups, they never got back to me. I even specifically asked for feedback irrespective of whether or not they were moving forward with my application.

I have had worse companies who don't put on a false display, giving me better feedback than this. Hubspot just doesn't seem to care. Why would you ask people to spend 3 hours solving a challenge when you won't even reach back to them ever? It's an utter waste of time and resources. If you want to do that, do it by all means, but stop pretending to have deeply thought core values. I am not even making this up; this is how they claim to operate:

• humble
• empathetic
• adaptable
• remarkable
• transparent

I don't know if you can read the irony there, but it's called H.E.A.R.T... I mean... anyway.

Get dates where people can attend an event.

Find the maximum attendance by date in each country.

Post the response to another endpoint.
