I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at HubSpot in Feb 2022
Interview
I had a screening interview last month where I was assessed on my sales skills and closing skills for an AE role. My impression was that the questions were too vague and don't really assess any skill related to the role. Very general questions that can only generate academic memorised answers instead of testing based on a situational question.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"How do you close a deal?"
"How do you prioritise your leads?''
Very structured. Recruiter will tell you exactly what the next round is about and what they are looking for.
Interview was extremely structured and seems like interviewer follow script when they ask questions lol
Phone Screen with Recruiter (off-camera)
Interview with Manager (mock disco)
Interview with another Manager (mock solution presentation)
Interview with your Sales Director (pretty easy, be human, we talked about fishing)
The two managers you get can make or break you getting in as some are tougher than others.
Multiple meetings and material to review for your interview stages. Be prepared to take 5 hours out of your work day to join the interview prep calls and meetings. Total time dedicated to interviews and preparation time roughly 10 hours.
