Pros: I was completely integrated into a team at HubSpot. I was able to work out of the same job board that the other developers were working on and directly impact the projects and goals the team had.

Cons: I was the only intern on my team, and the issues that I was working on were independent projects. On top of this, the internship was remote, so it consisted of me working independently without much communication with others for the majority of the internship.

Pros: A very pleasant working environment

Cons: Sometimes complicated to collaborate with teams in another time zone (US).

Pros: - Remote work: Although they will pay people more (not public) to work from the office upon signing your contract, effectively less pay for working remotely but stealthily. - Nice colleagues: The people you work with day to day (not managers or management) are generally some of the kindest and most empathetic people I have ever met. I've made friends at this job that I can't say that for other companies I've worked for.

Cons: - The "benefits" are all gone. Stock options are 1/3 of what they are outside of the US. No more unlimited paid time off. Instead, the "week of rest" you have to take out of your own holidays! So effectively, I get 20 days to pick for time off instead of 25, as it's soft mandatory to take a specific week off in July where it may not suit me or my family. - Out of touch management. They are obsessed, and I mean OBSESSED, with AI. They take out-of-context quotes from "customers" that are often fictitious, like "Growth Gabby," to justify business direction instead of listening to real human beings. - Silent layoffs for people working in UX and PEX. If you are a UX designer, run, run, run a million miles away from this company. They will throw you aside as soon as they want. - Helen, the new CPO, is honestly one of the most fake/terrible people I've had the (dis)pleasure of knowing. Katie Burke was a star, and losing her was the turning point for me in this company's downfall. They are caving to the new US administration's demands.
