Pros
I could list a lot of pros - the benefits, the technology, the mission, the transparency - but two things stand out:
The flexibility: As employees, we work hard to meet high expectations, but we're also encouraged to leverage flexibility to accommodate a work/life balance. As long as the work gets done, they trust you to work where and when you need to work, which has been so impactful on my work and life and will keep me loyal to the company for years to come. The company also allows remote work, which is an incredible option for those of us who prefer to work from home, are not located close to an office, or may be looking to make a physical move in the future for various reasons.
The community: The company is full of empathetic, helpful, and energizing people, which makes it a really great place to work and learn. From the very top level to individual contributors, I've always felt welcome and comfortable reaching out, collaborating, and asking for help when needed. This type of environment also fosters opportunities to branch out of your own role and explore other functions and possibilities, which has been really helpful to my career growth.
In the three years I've been at HubSpot, I've been able to transition my career into a new space, pursue a graduate degree thanks to the flexibility in HubSpot's schedule (and their tuition reimbursement!), and grow both personally and professionally in so many ways. It's been the best career move I've made so far and I couldn't be happier.
Cons
This isn't a con, but more setting context - HubSpot is what you make of it. There is so much opportunity, trust, and growth available to every employee, but learning to navigate and take advantage of all of that can be overwhelming at first, so it can take time to find your footing.
