Pros

Where do I start? The people and the culture are amazing. Before HubSpot I worked at a couple of Fortune 100 companies, did consulting for two years, and briefly owned my own business...none of those work environments came close to what HubSpot has. Apart from the people and the culture, the training and support is great, the pay is good, the perks are good and always growing (free food, in-house gym, etc.). As a high growth company career options abound, and lateral moves are common. I am in sales, and because the sales team in particular is growing fast there is good upward mobility as we add managers to keep pace with the team growth.

Cons

In the past I would have said work-life balance, but once I realized I was a borderline workaholic I was able to put limits on how long/hard I would work. My performance hasn't really declined (I was in the area of small incremental gains where the return for additional hours wasn't there) and I'm very happy with the balance I have struck.

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.
