Look Out for a Hidden Test at Your Next Job Interview
- kosei 12y agoThis kind of thing is almost a caricature of itself. He waits to see if the applicant throws away the cup at the end. If they don't throw away trash, he says, they aren't a good fit for the company
- totalforge 12y agoI read of a university that tested potential professors. At a lunch, the applicant would have a piece of fruit tossed their way. If they bit into it, and did not use the provided fruit knife on the table, they weren't hired.

- sportanova 12y agoI really doubt the seriousness of anyone who thinks that throwing away an empty cup of water is a good test of character. Interviewing (and probably working) at Hubspot sounds like having a high maintenance boyfriend / girlfriend that is always 'testing' you and judging you on how well you jump through their ridiculous hoops. No thanks
