HubSpot Software Engineer interview experience

I was originally matched with a hiring manager, but there was about a two-week delay before I completed an OA.

Once the OA was done, a recruiter emailed to schedule interviews. The first technical round focused on resource management and efficiency. The second round was the most atypical: an interviewer pushed for very specific product solutions and wouldn’t let the conversation wander
