Pros
Getting to keep my stupid Macbook made telling my spouse and kids that I lost my job was great.
Cons
I worked at HubSpot for a year and in my experience, the Culture and HEART stuff is bs. I was one of many laid off and for a company that cares so much about transparency, they shifted from “No Layoffs, to Layoffs possible if things get bad, to… Sorry we are laying you off.” This was in a matter of 90 days and 30 days before that the company leaders were celebrating smashing the sales goals so this layoff was simply a stock bump. Look at the price of the stock change from Jan 31-Feb 5 2023. For a company that said in December, “Worst case scenario only we will lay off, and sent companywide emails about smashing their sales goals, it’s pretty crappy to read an email the last day of January telling me that I am laid off.
