I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at HubSpot (New York, NY) in Nov 2016
Interview
I was first contacted by HR, and had a phone screen. Then, I took a 3 hr test. The final round consisted of a video conference where I talked to two of the tech leads. Overall it was a great experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
know your basic algorithms, practice coding questions, have a general idea on how to implement an app idea from start to finish
While I'm sorry you didn't get the outcome you may have hoped for, I'm glad you had a positive experience, so thanks for taking the time to write a review! - 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.
