Pros

The work environment at HubSpot is like no other I have experienced before or seen since. The company has a pulse unto it's own, with a constant drive toward success. In fact the #1 reason to work at HubSpot is to experience first hand an executive team with a near flawless execution of creating one of the fastest growing companies and take it public. HubSpot was also one of the more transparent companies I have known. Management did a great job of sharing the goals of the company and was extremely successful making sure the employees were aware of what they needed to do to help achieve those goals.

Cons

With a company so driven toward success, it became apparent that the numbers were more important than the people. So in order to succeed at HubSpot you must constantly succeed or live in fear that you will soon be replaced. So don't even consider working at HubSpot if you arent up for the challenge...

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.
