Pros

Tons of autonomy. If you are smart and driven you can both make an impact and grow a ton as an engineer. There are teams working across a wide spectrum of initiatives and opportunities to move around. The focus is on results, which is something you have a lot of control over.

Cons

There are at times some growing pains, as HubSpot is constantly growing quickly and needing to adapt. We don't always get it right, but the management cares a lot is always looking to improve.

Being a TL at HubSpot is no easy feat, thanks for all that you do and for taking the time to write this up, I really appreciate it. I appreciate your push on transparency and your acknowledgement that we don't always get it right but do spend a lot of time ensuring we correct it when we don't. Thanks for taking the time to write this up and for helping our engineering team evolve and grow with scale. Sincerely, 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.
