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: - The tech stack is interesting, and with the smaller teams, one can learn interesting things.

Cons: I’ve worked at the company as both an intern for multiple periods (2018, 2019) and as a full-timer from 2020-2023. I can attest to the very negative turn in culture at this company. I raised concerns about my manager, which were ignored by upper leadership. This resulted in multiple retaliations, an internal whistleblower investigation, and ultimately, shortly after the investigation’s conclusion, I was let go. (Although they made it a point to let me know they do not retaliate against employees who file whistleblower complaints.) If you are neurodivergent, not able-bodied, a person of color, a woman, etc., my strong recommendation would be to avoid this company like the plague. If you do not conform, you will be sidelined and most likely let go eventually. I know of a few former employees who have had really bad interactions with this company behind closed doors. Please be careful and consider other options.

Pros: HubSpot is renowned for its culture. The great reviews on here may seem somewhat forced, but they're truly evidence of years of hard work by an amazing People Ops team led by Katie Burke. I was skeptical coming in that it would not live up to its hype, but I've been very surprised that even during Covid-19 and the subsequent shift in our working environment, I still feel excited and happy to "come in" to work every day. I feel like my work is valued, and I feel like my time is respected (my hours are flexible and I don't feel forced to work when it isn't necessary). I'm working with some amazing people and I can't wait to see what the next few years are like!

Cons: Onboarding was a bit difficult during Covid-19, and I was disappointed by it. I didn't feel like it necessarily helped prepare me for the job, and it was more focused on Marketing & Sales values and concepts rather than the granular parts of the company (i.e., engineering, finance, etc.).
