Pros
The culture is strong. Many employees and leaders preach it and walk the walk. The design system is powerful, and relatively-well maintained. The pay is above market rate.
Cons
Some design leadership is toxic to individual contributors. There seems to be an expectation of excellence without any guidance for growth, and in some product teams, the product managers have all the power. Design leaders will side with them in conflicts and didn't seem to listen to feedback. The worst part was the condescending attitude from some higher up design leaders. It does not allow for growth in a design career on some teams. There doesn't seem to be a sense of psychological safety. A lot of people's reasons for leaving HubSpot seems to be swept under the carpet.
