Sorry for the delay this came out while I was on sabbatical. Thanks for the feedback, and glad to hear that you feel we hold true to our promise on autonomy and pace, I appreciate that. With regard to compensation, sorry to hear you feel that way-we spend a lot of time benchmarking our compensation data (both base and equity) with norms by location, team, experience, you name it, but if you have a specific concern about your own comp, would love for you to consider chatting with your HR business partner--it helps us get a bit more granular on your concerns and ensure we follow through on them. Appreciate the feedback and thanks for being a HubSpotter! -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.
