HubSpot

HubSpot has an amazing company culture and cultivated a work environment that I really enjoyed going to every day. I worked with incredibly smart and talented people who inspired me daily and were always there to help.

As a co-op (or intern), you are treated just like one of the full-time employees, and your opinion is respected even though you're still learning.

Also, it's very easy to become great friends with your co-workers because there are a lot of team bonding events and ample opportunity to get to know everyone.

You will spend a lot of time at work and work events with your coworkers. That part on its own is not a negative, so long as you get along with them.

What is hard as a result of that is it may be tough to balance with other aspects of your life, with work-related things.

As the company continues to grow, try to facilitate a relationship between separate parts of the company.

Working in engineering gave me very little exposure to salespeople and the marketing teams. While we had several amazing engineering events, we had fewer opportunities to bond with the other parts of the company.

I understand this is a challenge because that involves getting a much larger number of employees together.
