I could honestly go on all day about the pros......

Cons

They heavily promote from within their own ranks, so there are lots of first-time managers. I don't have any negative experiences to speak of so far, but it's a little risky.

They allow you to run a personality test comparison with any current employee. I find this a little disturbing; people should be able to opt out.

Advice to Management

Trying to keep the culture as it is is going to be a challenge as HubSpot scales. I can already see some senior executives trying to instigate change. This is inevitable as HubSpot matures, but it'd be a pity to lose the free beer :)
