All my software engineer friends in Boston have quit and work at hubspot. But hubspot as a company isn't *that* big or successful (yes its a unicorn, but still single digit billion in market cap).
Is hubspot really good at marketing itself? Or there just aren't that many startups in Boston?
Asking out of curiosity, I'm not looking to work there or anything

Hubspot tries to maintain a positive work culture. See culturecode.com. Also note the high company rating on Glassdoor. This is one of the best places I've worked at in a long time.
As a practical matter Hubspot combines a start-up-like culture with the huge amount of money of a well funded public company, all headquartered in Cambridge.
Data ops runs Kafka, hbase, mysql, and elasticsearch
Tech ops runs the base servers in AWS and tools around provisioning we use puppet for that
We have mesos for our own apps using our open source scheduler singularity
Building out kubernetees cluster for running projects we don't own (like vitess)
Our backend is all Java 8
Frontend is mostly React and ES6 with some legacy backbone and coffeescript projects
In order words, you own real apps of business importance, and have near complete autonomy for what you do with that app (with the support of some truly badass ops folk).
It's refreshing to be able to do this at a large company on production system with nontrivial traffic. Sure, there are other high traffic sites out there. But the ability to work on a production system at a large company with such autonomy is remarkable.
"Culture is unmatched"
Wtf?
