      Pros

      HubSpot really puts a lot of effort into having a positive, healthy environment for engineers to work, without going too far over the top. The technology that I get to work with is really modern and innovative, and honestly most importantly I would say is the intrinsic value given to getting things done right. That's not to say that things aren't done hacky and fast to just make them work, but it's acknowledged that this is taking on technical debt that will need to be paid off later. Thought is given to good API design, and there's a goddamn amazing design/UX team. Oh, and the UI library itself is top notch. It makes tasks that used to take weeks or days take hours or minutes.

      Cons

      All of the backend stuff is written in Java. So if you like Java... It is a decently sized company, however well they do of hiding it. There are managers, and managers' managers, and managers' managers' managers... but at least they're all super smart and competent.

      Thanks for being a co-op on our Infra team, delighted to have you, particularly as co-ops are a critical part of our long-term people strategy, so thanks for joining HubSpot and taking the time to post this review. My hope is that our team is less hiding the fact that we are relatively large as a scale-up and more focused on the fact that you still get small teams and autonomy just as you would at a smaller shop but with the advantage of a great halo brand and the stability of a great team and leadership, but welcome your feedback on how we can message that better. Regardless, glad that your experience has been with folks who are smart and clueful, and I'm truly over the moon that you called out the amazingness of our UX and design team--they do SO much incredible work, and deserve the callout you gave them, so thank you for that. Appreciate you picking HubSpot and taking the time to share your feedback--thanks for all that you do to help HubSpot grow and support our customers, we're lucky to have you. -Katie

      Pros

      Great people, everyone is so understanding and supportive. Culture is fun and energizing, people seem happy to be here. There's lots of ways to get involved outside of your day job. Awesome benefits and flexibility - love the remote first work environment, week of rest, open PTO, etc. Robust tech stack - lots of tools available for me to do my job.

      Cons

      Experiencing some growing pains but leadership seems receptive to feedback on it.

      Pros

      The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

      Cons

      Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
