Pros

Strong and inclusive culture, very smart people, lots of autonomy and trust granted instantly across all roles in the organization. If you are looking for your next technical challenge, HubSpot is a great place to be, and the challenges are getting bigger and bigger as the company scales up. Fabulous platform support. You'll probably never work anywhere else that has bespoke CI/CD tools that are as polished and reliable as HubSpot's. Developing software at HubSpot is a truly fulfilling experience... If you like Java. Top notch executive team. Brian Halligan is probably one of the most customer-centric CEOs in Boston, and Dharmesh Shah is a CTO able to operate at every level from dreaming the big dreams to writing the SQL queries himself.

Cons

Not unusual to scale-up organizations, HubSpot has some rough edges around role alignment when hiring externally, promotion paths across the technical and leadership boundary, and sometimes suffers from the downsides of a massively decoupled product org consisting of hundreds of small teams empowered to run fast in the direction they choose. By and large it is working for them, and there are alignment processes in place that get the job done where it matters, but be on the lookout for pockets of unchecked chaos, or unexpected feedback.

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback on technical aptitude and management--I'll be sure to share it with eng leadership and with the HRBP team supporting you all because I think it's important. It feels like eng leadership has made huge strides in scaling the model to support a truly global and large org, but we can always improve more together, so thanks for highlighting both the rough edges and the good stuff we offer, I very much appreciate it! -Katie
