Pros

I stole the title of this review from our COO - but I really believe in it. HubSpot is a place where people really pour their heart into their work. Many do it because they believe in HubSpot's mission, some do it because they believe in their team and their coworkers, others because they want to succeed personally. But the one common thread with everyone I've reported to, worked alongside, and even hired, was the passionate commitment to doing their best work here. This has led to me, specifically, experiencing an incredible amount of personal growth - as I'm constantly learning from amazingly wise and intelligent people.

Cons

HubSpot's grown rapidly over the last several years, and despite our 'startup like culture' (which is a phrase that has become ubiquitous and meaningless) HubSpot is a big company. Our cultural values have helped us maintain a high bar for employees, but there's a near-constant battle being fought against complacency, routine, and excessive process. You really do drive your own success here, but you'll occasionally need to carry the weight of others on the way to the top. If you come in with the expectation that HubSpot is a mythical unicorn that every employee rides off into the sunset, you will be disappointed. You need to work hard, and put up with the occasional amount of bulls*%&.

Thank you for the review, and completely agree--HubSpot is not a mythical being, nor are we perfect, but our commitment to evolving and growing is both consistent and remarkable. I love hearing that you feel people pour their heart into their work (I agree) and that you refer to our colleagues as wise, I happen to agree with you there too. Appreciate you helping our customers succeed as a leader on the IS team, and taking the time to write up a review--I'm very grateful. -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.
