Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela HubSpot (Cambridge, MA) em set. de 2015
Entrevista
1) Phone screen
2) Online Technical Screen
3) Onsite technical interview
Hubspot seems like an outstanding company. So great that I had no problem traveling 6 hours for the onsite interview. After the interview I thought it went well. The next day they got back to me telling me that I did not receive the job because I did not have enough experience building scalable web software. This is very annoying because this is copied and pasted from the application that filled out when I applied:
--------------
HubSpot judges candidates on potential, not a list of skills. That being said, we're paying attention if you have experience:
Building dynamic web applications
Designing RESTful APIs and designing database and storage strategies
Experience with a dynamic and functional language as well as a systems or staticly typed language
Working in a Linux or OSX environment, familiarity with server administration and tools
--------------
I have all of the following and not once did they mention that they had strict criteria for someone who had scalable software experience. In fact, they say that they judge candidates on potential and not a list of skills! This hypocrisy cost me a day of traveling and over $300 in travel costs.
Candidatei-me por meio de uma faculdade ou universidade. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa HubSpot (Londres, Inglaterra).
Entrevista
I went through several rounds, including an initial screening, a technical assessment, and follow-up interviews. The process was well structured, but I found the technical part challenging because it required both problem-solving and clear communication under time pressure. The interviewers were professional, and the questions were relevant to the role. Although I did not receive an offer, the experience was still valuable and helped me understand the company’s expectations better.

Candidatei-me por indicação de um funcionário. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa HubSpot (Dublin, Dublin).
Entrevista
Consists of an Online Assessment, followed by 3 rounds (2 System Design, 1 coding)
One of the System Design interviewer was less experienced (with an experienced shadow interviewer). I feel like they didn't drive it correctly, didn't ask me the right follow-up questions and eventually gave negative feedback.
