I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HubSpot (Boston, MA) in Oct 2017
Interview
Applied on their website, received a coding challenge, had a phone behavioral screen and then had an on-site. Did not receive the offer but was recommended to reapply in the future when I'm older
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Coding challenge: make an api call, parse json, manipulate data and post the resulting data
Thanks for taking the time to write a review and I'm glad you had a positive experience. We often look for co-ops and interns who have a bit of previous experience (either in a work environment or working on side projects that are relevant/align with our tech stack. I'd echo the team's encouragement to gain some more experience there - we look forward to having you apply to join us next year! Best, Becky
Other Software Engineer Co-Op Interview Reviews for HubSpot
Behavioral screening with the recruiter, then a 2 round technical interview. 1 leetcode easy question and 1 design question. Small behavioral questions at the end of each technical portion. One final call with the recruiter ~1 day after the technical interview for feedback and final questions
Everything posted is correct for the backend Co-Op. This interview is easy to crack if you prepare using the already posted behavioral responses and practice star. Algorithm interview was a joke and the system design part felt like the expectations were not super high.

Question 1
Tell me about the challenges/benefits of working on a team.
Design a weather system.
Array algorithmic question.
First recruiter did not respond at all to me in appropriate time. Eventually, another recruiter started answering my emails (I think the first one was affected by the layoffs) and then after a month and asking the recruiter for more details since I had other offers, I got sent a generic rejection email after a 30 min phone call I had with the first recruiter more than a month ago. Very terrible process and disorganized recruiters and I was very disappointed because I expected more from Hubspot. A rejection after a phone screening shouldn’t take a whole month.
