Pros

The growth here is real, you are constantly learning something new and working with individuals of different positions in different departments which makes for an amazing learning experience. The work/life balance is also a huge win - people respect that you have lives outside of work and that respect makes you work even harder.

Cons

Sometimes you have a ton of projects to work on at once and it seems overwhelming but it is a great challenge and you have endless amounts of resources and individuals who are happy to help.

Thank you for your review--I think one thing that's clear is we can do a better job of helping people figure out how to juggle multiple projects on their own, so more to follow there on how to tackle that--thank you for your input, and so glad to hear you're enjoying the benefits of radical transparency--I agree that it's one of the things that makes HubSpot remarkable as we scale, so keep us honest about maintaining it! -Katie Burke

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.
