Pros: HubSpot is an incredible place to work as a software engineer. The team is truly top-notch. While marketing/sales software might not sound like the most exciting thing to an engineer, waking up every day to work on a product that changes people's and company's lives is amazing. There is an underlying trust given to all employees - the only policy is "Use good judgment". Teams are autonomous and have full ownership over their piece of the product. The tech stack is strong and infrastructure is top notch. The office is great, there is energy, and the company is growing. Leadership doesn't get everything right all the time, but they are transparent and introspective.

Cons: The company is growing quickly, which means there can be a lot of change. Teams are shuffling around often, and products can change. It's not a small startup anymore, so you won't know everyone.

Pros: The pay was pretty good.

Cons: It's incredibly difficult to get promoted, unless you're a woman or have a diverse gender identity, then it's incredibly easy. Apparently, that's not problematic at all. They even brag about having over 50% women in leadership positions, that includes trans women, and that's how they do it. The CEO (also female) admits they're doing it on purpose and even makes public company blog posts, and posts on women empowerment job sites about how they do it, completely oblivious to their bigotry and misandry. When the woman team lead, with only 4 years of junior-level experience, stepped down because it was too hard, they immediately promoted another woman with only 2 years of full experience who proceeded to ruin every project our team got due to lack of experience. Even though I had 8 years of experience, I was never even asked or considered for a promotion in that area. I found another job pretty quickly. I'm currently at the team lead level in a Texas-based company. One that is not overly woke.

Pros: Flexibility and a lot of opportunities for growth.

Cons: Can't think of any cons.
