HubSpot

By almost any measure, HubSpot is an excellent place to work.

• Incredibly smart and kind coworkers
• Internal culture aligns with the culture code (HubSpot walks the walk)
• Lots of cool things to work on
• Awesome developer tooling, some really nice stuff that I wish other jobs had
• Everything on the front-end is moving to Typescript
• Interesting technical presentations and discussions happening each week
• Free book every month (separate from your stipend)

This is all front-end specific since that's where I work.

HubSpot made some questionable decisions on how their JavaScript dependencies are bundled/published internally. This means normal JS tooling does not work.

If you develop for the front-end, you are forced to use VSCode and a HubSpot-specific plugin to get autocompletion, intellisense, debugging, etc.

• No live/hot reloading of any kind
• No async/await
• No optional chaining (thing?.nested?.someKey)
• Can't use your preferred editor

I know I was harsh in the cons, but I really do think this is an amazing place to work. If I had to pick one thing to ask management for, it would be to provide remote teams with some more structure/guidance on how to better 'gel'. Newer teams especially suffer from feeling a little siloed and lonely.
