Pros

-Very intelligent people -Potential to learn a lot about inbound marketing, technology and business -Cool office space -Free food and beer

Cons

-Absolutely no work-life balance. If you are looking to devote your life to something - this may be your nirvana. If you have friends, family, other hobbies and/or a relationship you care about outside of HubSpot, good luck maintaining that while working here. If you're not physically in the office, you're expected to be working at all times. Everyone acts like everything is life or death. It's inbound marketing software, not an emergency room. -No structure. If you like to do your own thing and are very entrepreneurial, you may enjoy this. Policies and company direction can change day to day and you may be working in marketing one day, in product the next. -No HR department. Good luck if you have issues with your manager. -Unlimited Vacation Policy = No vacation time. In Sales you have to be there over a year, making your number every month to even get a week off. -No reimbursement/discount for parking or T passes. -Insane turnover. The past year of acquistions, one in particular, has brought more change than HubSpot can handle. Many long time employees (particularly on the developer side) have left in frustration as the new world order came in and rolled over everything. Anyone who was critical of this was eliminated or left because they were so miserable.

Pros

- Working with dozens of other smart, motivated producers. - There is a diverse mix of talent and experience on the dev team - there are some legit front end engineers and designers, a handful of experienced people who have built serious systems before, and many young engineers who are learning as we go. - Plenty of opportunities to grow, own major projects, and solve hard problems (we have technical challenges that very few web companies ever even see) - Exposure to startup culture, decisions, and growth stages of a business - there are tons of opportunities to learn lessons from guest lecturers and some of HubSpot's own. - Management has bet the business on reinvigorating and building a successful product company - they cleaned house and are behind product and engineering 100% (it's very exciting)

Cons

- High expectations and not a lot of formal process or training programs in place for developers. - Developers must be prepared to move fast and learn by themselves. - The company is still transitioning, so there are some older legacy projects that have yet to be replaced and the rest of the company is still learning about the new products.

Pros

Free food, free booze, young crowd, after hours fun, beautiful people, smart co-workers, hard workers

Cons

Long hours (recruiters will tell you 8:30-5 but most BDRs arrive around 7:30am and leave no earlier than 6:30pm just so that they can go home and source leads from the comfort of their own home AKA work more hours), impossible quotas, micro managers tell you word for word what to say on calls while listening in
