Chewy vs HubSpot

I have two offers from Chewy and HubSpot. The total comp from Chewy is a little bit higher. But I heard the culture there is bad. However, HubSpot is a happy place to work for but the total comp is a little bit lower. Does anyone have more insights into them? FYI TC for the 1st year Chewy TC ~266k engineering manager HubSpot TC ~240k tech lead #chewy #hubspot Update: YOE 7

Do you want to be a people manager - dealing with staffing plans, hiring/firing, comp reviews, perf reviews, etc? Or would you rather be more of an engineer that has a little management responsibility? I can't speak to the Chewy EM role and what it involves, but the HubSpot TL role is more of the latter - you're responsible for leading a small team typically with 2-4 engineers and owning a small slice of the HubSpot product (along with your product manager, if you're in a group that has them). You'll write performance reviews for your team 2x a year and be involved in the PIP process if you have an underperformer, but that's about it in terms of management responsibilities. Internally, a TL is considered a manager, but I think that's really overstating it. A lot of the 'classical' manager responsibilities - hiring, firing, staffing plans, comp reviews, etc - happen at the Engineering Lead level and above. ELs have a mix of IC engineer (SSWE II and below) and TL direct reports comprising 2-5 teams, and are also responsible for TLing one of their teams (and are thus actively coding a small percentage of their time). Happy to answer any other questions you have about being a TL at HubSpot.

What’s the difference between Tech Lead and Tech Lead 2?

Hubspot is a much better culture. Do you want to be happy and work somewhere long term and make less money or do you want to make more money and be frustrated most of the time? What team is the role at Chewy for? You can DM for more details.
