Pros

Came in for a full-time 6 month internship as a front end developer and shipped code into production in my first week on the team. I constantly feel like I'm learning and growing - and not only in my coding abilities. The opportunities that they offer for their interns (tech talks, Q&As with upper leadership, bonding experiences, etc.) are extensive and incredible. I couldn't rave enough about the opportunities for growth throughout the experience.

Cons

As an intern, it's great to work at HubSpot. I don't have many complaints in that regard, but I can see how the obsessive and very intense culture might be a challenge as a full time engineer - although you can also see it for how much pride everyone takes in their work.

Thanks for your thoughtful review of our software engineering internship at HubSpot, and I love hearing that you shipped during your first week. I hope you'll consider coming back to join us full-time, we take great pride in the fact that so many wonder co-ops and interns rejoin us. Thanks for taking the time to write this, and for helping us build a product our customers love! -Katie

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.
