Pros

- Health insurance coverage has been the best I've had - lowest of costs and the company takes care of the deductibles. - The pay is fair or above market value - the employee reserved stock units is often what makes your pay exceed the market value - New hires are pliable and extremely coachable, experienced hires are people who are "remarkable" at their prior roles; I've learned a lot from my peer. - Work-life balance is real here, same with unlimited vacation. You take what is needed and the team absorbs your absence with a plan. - People care about other people - so much that we'll often sacrifice our own goals to work on someone else's project that requires our expertise so that it succeeds. - If someone spills coffee in a meeting, the following will happen without fail: the closest people will drop their surroundings to help, the people on the outer ring will look for paper towels, and then the hive mind solves the problem. - The company structure changes every year, to best facilitate problems that need to be solved in the near future.

Cons

- Free waffles on Wednesdays occasionally gets cancelled - Boardgame nights start way too late in the day - Mystery Dinners (eat with a C-suite, chat, paid by HubSpot) favors a younger crowd without family commitments - HubSpotters feeling "entitled" to company perks (like all three mentioned points mentioned above) - On a more serious note, the company structure will occasionally make employees lose morale. Turnover tends to occur during those times, but it is still way below the industry average.

Thanks for your input, and for the forward-thinking push on the CRM and bitcoin. My hope is that our acquisition this week will assure you our product and BD teams are taking a hard look at our future and how we can align our product to future needs. Your feedback is really thoughtful on both sides, thanks for sharing it--we've made attempts to address some of your concerns by doing Mystery Lunches for parents specifically to ensure it's not always an evening commitment, but definitely agree that we can do better there. Also agree that entitlement can be an issue-it's something we actively try to find a balance on, but it's a dance we have to continue to navigate with our employees. Thanks for your feedback and for helping HubSpot grow! -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.
