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: HubSpot is an incredible place to work as a software engineer. The team is truly top-notch. While marketing/sales software might not sound like the most exciting thing to an engineer, waking up every day to work on a product that changes people's and company's lives is amazing. There is an underlying trust given to all employees - the only policy is "Use good judgment". Teams are autonomous and have full ownership over their piece of the product. The tech stack is strong and infrastructure is top notch. The office is great, there is energy, and the company is growing. Leadership doesn't get everything right all the time, but they are transparent and introspective.

Cons: The company is growing quickly, which means there can be a lot of change. Teams are shuffling around often, and products can change. It's not a small startup anymore, so you won't know everyone.

Pros: Good salary Stock options Work flexibility (office, hybrid, or full-remote) of your choice

Cons: Micromanagement. No positive feedback whatsoever. Low 401k match. Benefits are getting ripped away every day. Flexible PTO is not so flexible; you have to be in good performance standing. No space for growth. Toxicity.
