Pros: I really like the emphasis HubSpot has made on creating an inclusive and belonging environment. Compared to everywhere else I've worked, the company seems so much more accepting of people with a variety of expressions, backgrounds, and experiences. Management also acknowledges that there is always room for improvement and continues to take action to improve. There are many opportunities to get involved in DI&B initiatives. There are a lot of perks like free food, dogs in the office, an onsite gym, working from home, and expensed team outings. I also view my coworkers as friends. My manager keeps my career growth in mind, and I receive clear and actionable feedback to work towards an eventual promotion. I also have a lot of independence to determine my own schedule/hours and the projects I would like to work on. Initially, I was skeptical of the Unlimited Vacation policy, but I have had no difficulty taking time off. My manager suggested taking off about 4 weeks per year + holidays, which is more than what other companies I looked at offer for my role. I can also extend holidays by working remotely.

Cons: As HubSpot has grown, the culture and hubspotlife have not fully scaled. For example, the new office expansions (1C and 10C) have substantially fewer amenities and a much less social atmosphere than the main buildings. It's also been harder to sign up for traditions like Mystery Dinner and company outings. For software engineers, the work-life balance and burden of being on call can vary greatly depending on the team. For example, some teams are almost never paged, while others are paged multiple times a day.

Pros: There was lots of free stuff, I guess.

Cons: When people tell you this place is a cult, they aren't kidding. It's a glorified adware company that's convinced it's changing the world. Everyone is a ladder-climbing, two-faced snake who will rat you out to management the second you aren't acting "hubspotty" (a word they actually regularly use, which at its core means showing up to work smiling and happy to take whatever they give you). They consistently underpay their support workers and, when tasked with brutal overtime, compensate them with pizza. They act like they care about progressive issues, but don't actually care about anything other than the bottom line; it's all a PR stunt.

Pros: One of the best cultures

Cons: Haven't seen any as of yet.
