Millenial Women

* “one of the reasons why I joined HubSpot was the companys flat culture….you can just do whatever you feel is the right thing to do…You have to feel ownership in order to care about the product you’re building” – I think the last part regarding ownership is key in that statement. How do we get people to feel a greater sense of ownership?

* In millennial women, a statement was made where Maggie values how shes had the opportunitt to move laterally at hubspot to work on email

* marketing, page optimization, PR, ebook creation, and more. Reading that, it feels almost like a rotational program. Is it possible/does it make sense to create some sort of rotational program that is more accessible for employees? There seems to be a sense that learning is critical for millennial women. Perhaps this is a way to help satisfy the need to learn and be challenged.
