Pros

1. I am never bored 2. I work with a team of the smartest people I have ever met. I have a master’s degree from a fancy college, have traveled the world, and I can’t hold a candle to most of these people 3. My managers are always there when I need them… even managers that AREN’T my manager will always help me 4. I make great money when I crush my numbers 5. I have an extraordinary amount of personal freedom when I crush my numbers 6. Everyone at HubSpot is passionate about SOMETHING 7. I am appreciated for being the quirky self that makes me ME, and I get paid for it 8. When a process or system is broken, there is ALWAYS someone to come up with a better idea or just fix the problem 9. I have made friendships and business relationships that will last a life time 10. I get paid to think outside of the box as well as follow direction 11. Every day I see something created by HubSpot engineers, sales peeps, marketing peeps, support folks and consultants that blows my mind 12. It is a scientific, MIT engineered certainty that something awesome will happen in my life because I have worked for HubSpot

Cons

We work a lot of hours, it's no joke. It's also no joke to become the 2nd fastest growing software company in the country and we are all proud of it. You don't get there by laying back. If anything, the intensity can get tiring, but.. when you get too tired because you work like mad guess what happens.... YOU GET TO TAKE A VACATION. When I see negative reviews on here about HubSpot, I kind of just want to shake the people that wrote them. Maybe I have had bad luck prior to HubSpot with difficult/unhappy jobs... but I don't think that's the case. I am a very grateful person. HubSpot isn't perfect, no job is. But, I always have the option of fixing anything that isn't perfect and am prided for doing so and in fact encouraged.

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.
