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: - Good tech stack, very easy to work with. - Enjoyable work, although this varies by team. - Good teammates. - Product meetups are fun.

Cons: New HR policies have been completely tone-deaf. EU employees get a fraction of stocks compared to US employees now, and refreshers are only for high performers. PTO benefits like a week of rest and unlimited holidays are gone. Yet leadership wants you to use 5 of your own holidays for a specific week in July to suit the US. They tried to sell this as a benefit gain, not a cut. We’re not children. Performance is very closely monitored, for example, PR counts. The CTO has explicitly said he doesn’t want HS to be known for its benefits, and he’s certainly got his way. The sabbatical benefit is gone for new employees. Culture is now a lure. AI is being shoehorned where it shouldn’t be.

Pros: Great coworkers Remote Interesting work

Cons: PR count metric Product requests
