Pros: 1. Money is insane if you are in certain product roles. 2. Some very smart people still work here; just more have left.

Cons: Been here 8+ years. Since the CEO change, management has slowly pushed into a more toxic, Amazon-style organization with petty politics and stack rankings. Vacation benefits are so badly misrepresented, it's crazy. Hard limits on unlimited PTO with enough red tape, you'll be lucky in the US to ever get even two weeks' vacation unless you are super senior.

Pros: WLF Work from home Pay

Cons: The company’s culture has shifted to focus heavily on performance. A few years ago, HubSpot put real effort into being one of the “Best Places to Work” and regularly landed in the top 10 or 20. But that’s changed. Now, there’s more pressure around hitting metrics like “green squares,” which has led to burnout and a noticeable dip in morale. The recent layoffs didn’t help either—mixed messages around them left people feeling uneasy, and the company’s reputation took a hit. On top of that, changes to the vacation policy added more uncertainty at a time when people were already on edge. In the past year alone, close to five people on my team have left—most of them senior—further impacting team stability and morale.

Pros: The company is full of really great people who care a lot about creating a best-in-class product. The tech stack is maturing well, and the culture is overall really healthy. It has incredible work/life balance.

Cons: Sales and marketing have saturated all levels of engineering, and to advance it feels like you have to create a narrative to sell yourself.
