Interview
Given a list of example questions ahead of time, when it comes time for the interview you record yourself answering 4-5 questions they show on the screen. You have 1 minute to read the question and 2-3 minutes to answer it. Once you are done you submit your answer, you are not able to re-record.

Question 1
What do you know about HubSpot? Why would you be a good fit for this role? Why do you want to work at HubSpot? How did you overcome a challenge or obstacle in a previous job?
I applied online. I interviewed at HubSpot (Las Vegas, NV) in Oct 2025
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.
