I applied online. I interviewed at HubSpot in Jan 2021
Interview
I applied and passed the tech screen. Following this, I was told the initial position I applied for was not actually available anymore, so I got moved to a completely different team to interview with.
The final interview started nicely, but towards the end the process seemed to lose its merit. You needed to expand out & style a website with vanilla JS & CSS within a 30 minute window, which was something I've never had to do previously in an interview. I'm not sure the value gained watching someone style a website with CSS.
After the final interview, I was told for 2 weeks they were "Awaiting feedback" and would let me know soon the outcome. All email communication given was vague enough that it was never made apparent if I actually passed the interview or not. Was the feedback relating to individual performance, or interview feedback relating to if I've passed the interview?
2 weeks after the final interview, the recruiter had me schedule time out of my day for a call, just to let me know I was not chosen.
Its a waste of peoples time & emotional energy to string them along and reject them through a phone call that long after the interview has finished. An early rejection email would have been way more appropriate, with an optional follow up if you want individual feedback on interview performance

The hiring process was first, a phone call with a manager, he was very friendly.
Then they sent me a link to work on their data, but their server was down.
They stopped responding to my emails
Sorry this was your experience with us, feels odd that our server was down then you didn't hear back from us, so will check in with our tech recruiting team to understand what's up here, thanks for flagging my way. -Katie
Recruiter reached out to me after I applied for the position. Had a 20mn call, completed the coding assessment. Got 200 response and submitted my code via a link provided.
And then nothing. Ghosted by the recruiter. Total time waste. It's been 3 weeks. Spent 3 hrs on the coding challenge. It's minimum courtesy to let the candidate know if they want to move forward or not.

Question 1
Get api response from a link, modify the data and post it to an endpoint given.
Sorry to hear this, and thanks for flagging--I will ensure our tech recruitment team sees this and ideally can respond to give you clarity on the path forward either way.
