GitHub vs HubSpot?
All things being equal, which would you choose? HubSpot has the higher Blind rating but I feel like GitHub has cooler projects. I value WLB, culture, and impact over TC personally (to an extent). YoE: 5 Current TC: 70k 🥜 #engineering #software #swe
Wow, was not expecting GitHub to win by this much 🤯 anyone care to explain why? All the GitHub reviews say the Microsoft takeover ruined things
Because you get MSFT stock grants and yearly refreshers. It’s not that bad here. We are doing decent enough.
HubHub
😂 just blend the two for the best
but you don’t know if i just took one of them and put it twice 🧐
If you're going to go for companies with "hub" in their name, you should also have included GrubHub.
😂 the name similarity is coincidental. I’m in interviews loops with these two and they’re high on my list
I like working at GitHub, but have heard great things about hubspot
How long have you been at GitHub? What do you like about working there? I’d love to hear your experience
About 2+ years, didn't come from the MSFT side but also wasn't there for the acquisition. When you ask people who were there before the acquisition you might get more mixed opinions. I love working at a company that is so essential to pretty much every developer lifecycle there is. I just really like that. If it wasn't for GitHub, all your favourite apps would not be able to function anymore. From the work side: I work on pretty cool infrastructure problems, my co workers are very experienced, extremely helpful and very friendly. The working style is quite different, in a good way - it's very asynchronous because we're so distributed around the globe. Especially helpful if you have kids, or just want to deviate from the standard 9-5 schedule.
Most GitHub projects these days are rebranded Microsoft products, there is little innovation or decisions made from the the GitHub side.
Co-pilot and codespaces seem cool though. And trying to eat into Jira's space with the planning and tracking project seems smart.
True but copilot isn’t developed at GitHub and neither is the strategy
Every company has cool and not so cool projects. It's a matter of you getting a chance to work on it when there are so many others vying for the same.
That’s an excellent point, yeah. But if the company has cool projects, you at least have the opportunity to maybe work on them. If the company has 0 cool projects 🤷
Again, every company has a cool project or else they cease to exist
