Pros

The culture here at HubSpot is awesome. You are empowered to make your own decisions so long as you "use good judgement". That's phrase that gets thrown around a lot and management means it. It guides pretty much everything we do here. It allows us to have fun so long as we all get our work done. Oh and the work itself is really fun. I support the sales org and I love the people I work with

Cons

We've grown fast so not everything is as organized as I would love it, and there is a lot of work to do on a day to day basis. There are some small signs of becoming a bigger company (less cross-team collaboration for example) but steps are actively being taken to mitigate these.

I love that you said "the work itself is really fun," I agree-I feel lucky to work here every day, so glad to hear you do too. We definitely need more work on how to make cross-team collaboration even easier; if you have ideas on them let's talk about them, would love your input! -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.
