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: Can be done remotely within Ontario.

Cons: Workload varies with time; sometimes it's more than usual.

Pros: Everyone I had the pleasure to work with really embodies the company culture. There are tons of benefits, but to me, the culture truly is the best. * Great support for juniors * Tons of mobility * My group is particularly diverse, and there are many amazing and inspiring women in leadership positions. * The company embraces remote work and is making great strides on that front. (PEER week was a turning point for me) * Transparency is a core value of the company. * Coworkers frequently encourage you to take time off (no guilt in enjoying your unlimited PTO). * Peer award recognition every quarter. The technical stuff: * Great internal tooling * Modern frontend stack: React, TS, styled components * Most docs are comprehensive. * Top-of-the-line Mac and supportive hardware. * The CRM is a beauty that we constantly experiment and iterate on. (There's a learning curve to it, but that's part of the fun). And the more standard stuff, but also great: * 50% matching of 401k/RRSP up to 7% of your base salary. * Health, dental, travel insurance. * Tuition/courses reimbursement. * Gym membership reimbursement. * Free books/audiobooks program. * Monthly stipend for remote/flex employees. * Unlimited PTO + global week of rest (this is particularly amazing if you work from a country which mandates only 2 weeks of vacation - Talking to you, Canada). * 1-month sabbatical after 5 years. * Probably more stuff I can't think of now...

Cons: Can't really speak of the backend. HubSpot keeps a rather defined division between FE and BE, which is not an issue for me now, but could be for some people. No cons I can speak of.
