Pros

Fantastic engineering talent and culture. I can't say enough how skilled, friendly, and dedicated everyone is at HubSpot. It's awesome how much trust is put in employees to solve for and do right by the customer. So many opportunities to learn, collaborate, and grow.

Cons

Getting up to speed when first joining can be somewhat intense, but once you get into the groove, it's great!

I love that you called out how our engineering team is empowered to solve for the customer--that's one of my favorite parts of our culture code, and I'm glad to hear it came through in your early experience with the company. Thanks for a thoughtful review, I promise to keep working to make the company feel small even as we grow! -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.
