Pros

Interesting technologies to work with, lots of customers and big engineering challenges to tackle.

Cons

Culture of fear favoritism. Unless you're not among the blessed few, you will be forced out. Voicing any opinion contradictory to the current way of thinking will land you on the outside looking in. Frequent compulsory "hackathons" that are nothing more than an excuse to force engineers to work until 2am.

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

Get to work with smart people, some even with long and successful entrepreneurial history Small Teams Lots of autonomy is given if you show competence and responsibility Limited process / Lots of time to code and be creative without endless meetings Devs get legit hardware and tools so you can focus on solving a real problem Writing a lot of code from scratch, clean slate

Cons

Work can bleed into your personal life at times Not enough lolcats of cash cats for that matter in the chat room
