I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at HubSpot
Interview
I was referred by a friend who works at HubSpot.
The interview process was quite lengthy. It started with a self-recorded questionnaire followed by a phone screening, another 30-minute call with a hiring manager and then three 30-minute interviews with one of them being a mock sales pitch. Two of the three managers I met with seemed as if they could not care less about being there and they were forced at gunpoint. Disinterested, clearly checking their email/phone while I was answering questions. It was a pretty big turn off.
I made it to the last round and was not extended an offer. The feedback I received is that my cold call skills could have been better (which was very fair) and that one hiring manager thought I "only wanted to work there because I had friends there."
Overall, HubSpot is clearly a great company with a great product. However, I felt as if some of the folks I interviewed with could not care less about me, my experience or bringing me onboard.

I applied online. I interviewed at HubSpot (Cambridge, MA) in Feb 2021
Interview
The pretty typical interview process with both video interviews and over-the-phone interviews. Role-plays were required during the last interview but they are pretty straight forward and HubSpot prepares you well for them.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at HubSpot (Miami, FL) in Dec 2020
Interview
The interview process was good, the people interviewing were amazing and really care to know who you are and what you can bring to the table! I had another offer so I did reject continuing the interview process, but for the few interviews I had, I was impressed!
