Process
Interview process:
- Phone screen
- Coding assessment
- In-person interview
The coding assessment is unpaid and takes several hours. It really feels like a waste of time, as they send it to many people and only select a few.
Questions
The coding assessment was a pain because it required configuring libraries as opposed to just coding. It felt like a complete waste of time, and it was one of the worst coding experiences I've had.

Pros: Fantastic engineering talent and culture. I can't say enough how skilled, friendly, and dedicated everyone is at HubSpot.
It's awesome how much trust is put in employees to solve for and do right by the customer. So many opportunities to learn, collaborate, and grow.
Cons: Getting up to speed when first joining can be somewhat intense, but once you get into the groove, it's great!

Pros: 1. Great dev tooling
2. Remote work + work abroad for 3 months
3. Stock growth
4. Really smart co-workers
5. Incredible autonomy (might be a con for some people who require some hand-holding)
Cons: 1. PIP culture, especially if you don't meet "devex" metrics.
2. Way more focus on what competitors are doing; very reactionary management.
3. Fear-mongering about AI.
4. The first 6 months are kind of probationary, even though they don't mention it. Very important.
