      Pros

      HubSpot is an amazing place to work. Being here for a little over a year, I've seen us scale in number of employees, overall revenue generation, perks, and professional development opportunities. We've seen hardships along the way, but I can honestly say that 80% of the changes we've made have been undoubtedly for the betterment of the company as a whole, and have spilled over unto us as individuals, to enrich our daily work life. Our constant push to always be improving really affects each of us in unique ways, and in my opinion it's always for the better. One of the top reasons I stay at HubSpot is because of the work/life balance and flexibility to make your own schedule. Although my friends and family may not at times think I have the best "work/life" balance, the way I structure my time is completely up to me, and I capitalize on our Unlimited Vacation policy often. It's incredibly refreshing to be able to map out your own days and schedule, and be able to enjoy things in life outside of work, whether they are during the typical work day or not. I've been able to grow on my own at HubSpot in numerous ways due to the autonomy that has been given to me, and our Culture + L&D teams have done tremendous work in making sure that outside and internal trainings are available and top of mind to anyone who would like to attend. There are so many leaders here that actually care, and it's just an amazingly collaborative environment that I feel truly stems from our upper management and executive team in a trickle down effect.

      Cons

      Although we are self-proclaimed "policy averse", there are times when policy and direction are paramount to success, and I think we fall flat there in many areas. I think we can do a better job of operationalizing our day to day, without losing sight of our customers as the main focus. I think in a lot of ways HubSpot isn't a company that appeals to everyone, and I think we need to change this approach as we grow. While this may be okay when we are a mid-sized company, this won't be an optimal way to operate once we become very large. There are many "cultural issues" we face as an organization, and while I feel our company culture is mostly positive, I think there are pockets of teams here that operate in ways that wouldn't work for every type of background/personality/culture, and in my opinion we need to look outside of our bubble more often to create a more conducive environment that serves all types of people around the globe if we want to stay relevant as a Global leader in our industry.

      Wow, lots of really important feedback contained in here, thank you for taking the time to write it up and share your thoughts, and for all you've contributed to HubSpot during your time here. On the pros, I love that you feel leadership really cares (we do!) and that you've been able to grow through both formal and informal programming. I also love that you have life-work fit that works for you--you're spot on that it's not for everyone, but I think people like you are a great example of how you make it work well for you, so thanks for sharing your perspective. On the cons, I don't disagree that our aversion to policy can sometimes be an obstacle to progress, and I definitely agree that having external leadership and perspective can both challenges our assumptions and ensure we don't fall victim to groupthink. Your advice to senior management is both important and well-put--we will keep working hard to make you proud, thank you again for the thoughtful feedback! -Katie

      Pros

      Great people, everyone is so understanding and supportive. Culture is fun and energizing, people seem happy to be here. There's lots of ways to get involved outside of your day job. Awesome benefits and flexibility - love the remote first work environment, week of rest, open PTO, etc. Robust tech stack - lots of tools available for me to do my job.

      Cons

      Experiencing some growing pains but leadership seems receptive to feedback on it.

      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.
