I applied online. I interviewed at HubSpot (Seattle, WA)
Interview
I was genuinely excited to speak with HubSpot because of everything I’d heard about their culture and values. But the phone screen with the recruiter didn’t match that at all. The call felt rushed and impersonal. The audio wasn’t great, and the recruiter spoke so fast it was hard to keep up. It honestly felt like she wasn’t interested and was just going through a checklist.
I had taken the time to prepare and came into the call with a lot of respect for the company, but the conversation didn’t feel like a two-way dialogue. It left me feeling dismissed rather than evaluated. For a company known for caring about people, this felt pretty disappointing.

Interview with another Manager (mock solution presentation)
Interview with your Sales Director (pretty easy, be human, we talked about fishing)
The two managers you get can make or break you getting in as some are tougher than others.
Multiple meetings and material to review for your interview stages. Be prepared to take 5 hours out of your work day to join the interview prep calls and meetings. Total time dedicated to interviews and preparation time roughly 10 hours.

Interview
Very thorough and transparent interview process. Make sure you come well-prepared and can confidently speak to your ability to consistently execute 50+ outbound calls per day. I would also recommend highlighting a structured sales system you’ve successfully used and be prepared to walk through it in detail—from territory mapping and prospect research to outbound outreach, meeting generation, pipeline management, and follow-up cadence. The more you can demonstrate a repeatable, process-driven approach to generating results, the stronger your candidacy will be. Additionally, have specific metrics and success stories ready that showcase how your system has translated into meetings, opportunities, and revenue.
