The product I'm most proud of having worked on. Hundreds of hours invested for over a decade.

Yes, it's a slide deck -- but think of it as a template.

Shared with the community with love.

Calling this love, especially given the documented history of your company, is gaslighting, please stop.
Thanks for saying this.

There's the idealized culture that companies put in cute little slide decks and share online.

There's also the actual culture inside these companies where, for example, the FBI opens an investigation into company executives for "multiple failed attempts to manipulate and extort peopleā€ to prevent them from reporting on its culture. [1]

I'd be more interested in a deck on the latter, frankly, or some insight from HubSpot leadership as to what's changed culturally since then.

I guess I'm not the target, after about 15 slides my brain was ringing the "Nothing interesting in any of this" bell.

Also do you still have the same management who went in for extortion to cover up a book that told the truth...

Thank you for sharing this! Love the focus on culture and community that HubSpot has built
