Pros

HubSpot is in its 10th year as a company, and is really hittings its stride. Other the years we've really learned a lot as a a company and as a culture. There's room to grow in ones career, make lateral movement, try new things, hear your ideas be heard, and so much more. The culture is one of a kind, as well as the people within.

Cons

HubSpot isn't a corporate company, in terms of culture. There's a lot of autonomy and not a lot of strict black and white rules. If you're looking for that structure, this place will be a tough transition. It's up to the individual and the employees as a whole to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Thank you for the write-up and your feedback! I would agree that our people are one of a kind, I never get sick of meeting new people who join, it's inspiring and humbling, even at our size. I think you're spot on that our structure lends itself to people comfortable with ambiguity, and I think your caution to ensure that we stay transparent and appreciative of where we have been as an organization is critical. Thanks for the reminder and for your hard work helping HubSpot grow globally! -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.
