Pros

Talented and friendly colleagues.

Management are very open to hearing your concerns and genuinely try to improve things.

The whole business is very transparent; anything you want to know about how the business works is available to you.

A good place for talented grads.

Cons

Career progress can be slow; it feels like you get stuck at a level.

No matter how much they dress it up, you're building marketing automation software, and that can be a bit unrewarding.

It's hard to have an impact on a 300+ person engineering org as an engineer.

Experience outside of HubSpot doesn't count once you get in the door, and that can make the environment a bit frustrating for experienced engineers.

Advice to Management

Ease off on the "we're changing the world" mantra. Even if you believe it, it doesn't ring true to the staff.
