Pros

Used to be a great place to work where you could work hard and play hard with coworker and manager alike - a lot of camaraderie. Now, it feels like more of a work hard or harder kind of place.

Cons

Don't feel valued by management. Trainings are solely focused on product changes; there's absolutely no focus on career advancement or employee growth. Feels like you need to know someone in other departments in order to branch out within the organization career-wise.

Really saddened to read this one, sorry to hear that you're not feeling valued at HubSpot. Happy to chat more in person if you feel comfortable doing so, or to have you as part of the career growth brainstorms we are holding in response to ENPS feedback if you'd rather not identify yourself--the goal is to get a lot of great ideas to help us move forward specifically on career growth progression, so would love your input to be part of that equation. Thanks for helping us improve here and keeping us accountable for prioritizing employees, Katie

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
