Pros
Despite the negative culture, some of the work can be fun and rewarding
Cons
The culture is genuinely bad at HubSpot. They’ve intentionally modeled their company culture after SpaceX and Amazon, which are notoriously controversial places to work, and it shows. There are a few great managers and team members, but overwhelmingly, there’s an extreme “sink or swim” mentality that focuses solely on numbers and increased shareholder revenue instead of meaningful and thoughtful business decisions. Engineers are tracked and reviewed on how many lines of code they write, not by the quality or effectiveness of the code, which I think is indicative of the broader issues.
