Pros

- Transparency from management on decisions and direction - And willingness of management to make the hard decisions/make changes to the business & model, effectively distrupting ourselves & not allowing ourselves to rest on our laurels, continuing to innovate & not just grow through acquisition - Health benefits are top notch, very minimal/essentially zero out of pocket expenses for the employee (except for the premium), which is great as a new parent - Focus on flexibility: I feel like I have the ability to take the time I need, come in later/leave "early," work from home, etc. This is supported at the highest levels (CEO) and feels like we're doubling down on it as we speak.

Cons

- Typical growing pains of moving from a start-up to scale-up (i.e. systems/data challenges, not yet the best at being a global company where international employees feel just as "in the loop" as those at HQ) etc.

Sorry for the delay, I was on vacation last week and I'm still digging out! I love that you feel that we are doubling down on flexibility and transparency, that you call out the healthcare benefits that support our employees and their offspring (congratulations, by the way!), and that you admire our management team's commitment to make hard decisions--we'll keep working to make you proud. Thanks for the review and for your hard work at HubSpot! -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.
