The reviews below from Feb to May 2016 do a good job of summarizing the process, so I'll focus on things they missed or stood out to me. There were seven interviews. First a "Take the Interview" with your webcam, then a phone interview with a recruiter, then 2 30 minute phone interviews, and finally 3 in-person interviews (2 behavioral, 1 technical). I felt as though once you got past the webcam interview, you'd need to screw up big time not to get to the final round. This is because, with the exception of the one technical interview, everything was behavioral and conversational, to the point where I left wondering exactly what skills or experiences I was being evaluated on. If you've ever used a Content Management System or Google Analytics, the tasks they ask you to do with the Hubspot software are a cakewalk. Turns out they were testing for culture fit, and that was the reason they gave for rejecting me. This was pretty frustrating, because you can probably figure out whether an employee's personality and demeanor line up with the company's culture by interview #2 and save both sides a lot of time and money (they don't compensate you for travel to Cambridge if you're not in the area). And unlike interviews at other companies where I could pinpoint where I went wrong and use it to improve in the future, I felt as though the 4 hours-worth of interviews and 8 hours of travel were a waste of time. At $35,000, the starting salary is low. They say you get a promotion every few months, but didn't say if they came with a salary bump. Either way, the average tenure seems short enough that I can't imagine it getting much higher than that. The office was well-furnished and had beer on tap. One last thing that stood out to me, as a non-white person, was the lack of diversity. I'm used to being in school and work environments that are 80% white, but all of the 50 or so employees I saw were white. Hubspot is growing rapidly, and I have to wonder how management could see how other tech companies like Apple and Twitter get raked through the coals for their lack of diversity and think the current situation is at all sustainable. A year after "Disrupted" pointed out the lack of diversity, it seems as though little has changed. (A broken clock is right twice a day, I suppose.) I am not the sort of person to cry racism, and I try to go into every new experience with an open mind. But when "culture" seems to be at the core of the hiring process and so few technical skills are tested, Hubspot has little excuse for being this ethnically monolithic.
