I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at HubSpot (Boston, MA) in Mar 2013
Interview
Initial phone screen with HR, phone screen with Sales Recruiter, followed by a VERY LENGTHY (took me two hours) test which included six parts (personality, vocabulary, situational questions, analogies, math and word problems), followed by a phone screen with the Sales Manager. I never called them back after that call and they never called me back.
The test was very long and I was curious to know what they were looking for when they asked me some of these GRE type math problems. The phone screens were straight and to the point like they were reading from a list, getting their answers and moving on. In a sales role the interview needs to be more conversational, personality is a huge part of sales.
I do not have a marketing background and this was more or less an entry level job but I felt as though things didn't "click" in the interview because I didn't have the marketing experience to back it up-- they knew this prior to the interview. All in all I felt like the Sales Recruiter and the Sales Manager I spoke with were rather cold with little personality. Possibly that is just for the interview process? I've been turned down at plenty of other jobs so I'm not saying this because they didn't call me back. I'm saying it because I just got a feeling that this isn't a place that would be a fit for me .. though I know it's a great company that many people are happy to be a part of.

Interview
The initial screening interview was fine — they just asked common “tell me about a time when…” scenarios, and the interviewer was friendly. The second interview is a one-hour, two-part role play (chat and phone call). They have hundreds of knowledge base articles, but you have no idea what scenario to prepare for, so it’s pretty difficult to do well unless you spend hours every day prepping. If you do manage to get past this portion, you still have 3–4 more interviews before receiving an offer.

Interview
Terrible.
Recruiter gave me questions to prepare for with the hiring manager and then none of those questions were asked having me feel unprepared.
Also gave me ridiculous feedback about not answering a question exactly to their liking as to why they passed on me.
Said I did well otherwise, but applied again and immediately got declined.
Joke of a company and recruiting team.

Question 1
Tell me about a difficult customer and how you resolved it
I had a first-round interview for a sales role, but unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations. The recruiter did not seem well-prepared for the conversation — their English level made communication difficult, and they weren’t able to clearly explain the role or speak about the company in an engaging way.
As a candidate, I came in genuinely excited about the opportunity and had done a lot of preparation. However, the conversation felt surface-level and unstructured, and it didn’t give me a clear view of what working at the company would be like.out of the interaction. I hope the process improves, especia
I would have preferred a written Q&A or even a chatbot to get more value lly for a company that positions itself around great customer and user experiences.
