1) Report about a dataset 2) Skills based interview :Was supposed to be by phone, but was through Zoom with screen shared by a request at last minute. Even though the exercises were not hard at all, I bombed the interview. I got so nervous because it was suppose to be by phone. At the last minute the interviewer change the communication channel to Zoom. Also, I was confused and got more nervous, because the request to share screens. Furthermore, there were two SQL questions, and I am usually use Notepad++, but I wasn't prepare for this setting, so I used Mac, were I did not have Note++ installed, instead of my computer with windows. My interview experience can be described as a "series of unfortunate events". I hope they give me another chance later, though. My only feedback is to tell upfront (before the interview) that you will require to share the screen. To best of my knowledge Hubspot promotes working in an environment in which you can concentrate and perform well. I do not think my interview reflected how I would have perform in the job. Finally, it would have been easier to overcome if my first language was English, but since is my second language, situation that made me already nervous, this completely destroyed my chances.

Overall a great experience! Excited to start soon. Pros: 1. The recruiter was very professional, easy to work with, and more importantly, didn't play any games. Found a great fit for me in the company (by recommending a new role when the first role wasn't the best fit), told me exactly what was coming in the interview, and was quick to respond to my questions. They put me in a position to succeed and made a fair offer in the end, and gave me the time and space to reflect on the offer. 2. The take-home assignment in my eyes was brilliant. Yes, it was a lot of work, but it also demonstrated the kind of work I would be working on at HubSpot, and that helped me make my decision to accept since I found the project interesting. HubSpot was flexible on the scope of the next steps, and the timeframe to do the analysis. 3. I was really impressed with the director who I interviewed in the final round, who answered my questions extremely well about the culture code, why they were building the team and what the next 5 years looked like, how were analysts evaluated and what were the biggest questions they were focusing on. It gave me the trust that I'm coming into a company with clear direction, and I know that my work will be valued. 4. I appreciated the confidentiality that HubSpot's team had in the process of the information presented in the interviews to better Areas of Improvement: 1. HubSpot can benefit from a platform where potential interviewees can ask questions (the only people I could interface with in the process and ask them questions, was with interviewers). While interviewers gave me space to ask questions, they were still evaluating me in the end, and having a person to just talk to and ask questions without having the pressure of feeling evaluated goes a long way in deciding whether you wanted to work for a company or not. Other companies (eg. FAANG) do this and it would further improve the already great recruiting experience. Also since Hubspot's culture code is unique, it would be a helpful platform for prospective candidates to better understand it. 2. Secondly, providing interview feedback between rounds is helpful especially since the process is long and candidates have the time and space to improve regardless of the outcome. 3. Minor but the take-home presentation interview could have been better organized. The presentation was meant to be to a stakeholder audience (i.e product manager/execs) I had two peer-interviewers for a presentation, and at times it was unclear to me the levels of detail to get into, and I had to clarify. Having a product stakeholder asking follow-ups in the room could be helpful in simulating the day-to-day presentation nature of the interview, rather than a peer pretending to be the stakeholder (the back and forth in the level of detail was a bit confusing). The aspect I did like the peer interview in the sense that I could dive into the details on how I executed the analysis, but finding a better way to organize the presentation vs. analysis methodology would be helpful.
