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: 1. SMART people in the Product & Engineering department. 2. All teams stick to the company culture and promote Autonomy, Transparency. 3. Teams are small in size so you will have a huge impact through your work. 4. No one expects you to be perfect, so no fearing of making mistakes and learning from them. 5. Lots of different problems to solve being a SWE.

Cons: 1. You would be disappointed with pay as it is not top of market but competitive pay according to the Boston area.

Pros: Dev tools are great, offering flexibility to work in other states.

Cons: Management is shady. No longer a transparent company. Has been quietly removing benefits. Work-life balance is non-existent if you are placed on a bad team.
