Pros

The amount of autonomy you are offered right out of the gate gives you a feeling of true mutual respect. There is an underlying message of "you are here for a reason and we are so excited to see what you can do!" It's a fast-paced and fun environment where there's always a new project to tackle and a strong team to support you in the process. The commitment to true transparency encourages HubSpotters to ask questions and hear real answers. HubSpot also understands that not everyone works in the same way and really solves for the employee by offering both tangible and more abstract opportunities to build a work environment that's best for you (e.g. nomad desks, unlimited vacations, common areas for co-working).The flexibility and true investment in its people makes HubSpot a great place to build a career and has so far been a great place to find my professional voice.

Cons

With the company growing quickly it can be really easy to be be complacent and not get to know too many of your colleagues. Continuing to encourage these interactions will be invaluable!

So sorry for the delay, I thought I responded to this one, but apparently missed it--thank you for the thoughtful review, and I like your point about understanding that not everyone works the same way, our facilities and IT teams do a great job facilitating that across the company around the world, and I think it's a significantly underrated benefit of working here. On the diversity front, I would agree with your feedback--we are investing heavily here as I hope you have seen/felt with some of the initiatives in play, and will continue to invest there as we grow and scale. Thanks for your help and for choosing HubSpot, we are very grateful you did. -Katie

Pros

The seductive elements that are evident at most hip tech companies these days. Free food, free beer, great benefits, 401k, decent pay, free gym, attractive office space, stand up desks, the works! You'll feel like a real king for quite some time with all the nice perks.

Cons

This is the 'outstanding' culture that Hubspot prides itself on that I honestly witnessed on a near daily basis: - Male colleagues who VERY openly talk about which Hubspot girls they wanted to sleep with or thought were hot, in the most vulgar of terms. If a certain Hubspot female was coming to the office, you'd sure hear about it! - Coworkers who VERY openly make fun of and gossip about colleagues on and off their team. Know that when you are out sick that you WILL be talked about behind your back, and might have a meme or two making fun of you and shared to the whole team. - A boss, who you are supposed to respect, that gets beyond wasted at nearly every company event. - Coworkers who talk openly and loudly about topics ranging from the size of their genitals, the girls they slept with that week, the drugs they took that week, and the coworkers (on the same team) that they dislike. - People who are so genuinely awful that they make the 'no jerks policy' look like a complete joke, but have complete impunity because of their particular relations to the boss. - Coworkers and bosses who openly start drinking the free beer at 3pm. - Expletives and extreme vulgarities dropped openly and loudly left and right, regardless of the subject matter, but most often when complaining loudly about coworkers or customers. - Bosses and managers that are so inexperienced, incompetent, and juvenile that they not only set the precedent of the above behaviors, but in the face of real professionals waste no time in passing all 'smart people' work off onto them, taking credit for all their ideas and accomplishments without thanks, and running to them desperately for support and counsel in their never ending crisis's. - Middle-Upper management who know all too well about all the above problems (because they have absolutely been told directly or via TinyPulse) but ignore them by remaining conspicuously absent and silent, or firing the people that have the balls to speak up in more adamant ways.

I have a hard time reading what you're describing because it's the antithesis of what we aspire to be and do every day.The whole idea of our culture is predicated on humility, learning, and continuous improvement, so the notion that our goal is to shove it down people's throats or indoctrinate folks is the polar opposite of our objective on a daily basis. Thanks for the feedback, sorry to hear that your experience was so different from so many other folks in terms of speaking up, sharing your opinion, and dissenting. -Katie

Massive Opportunity for Growth & Innovation

Pros

Being part of the global expansion of HubSpot is very exciting and presents huge opportunity for career growth. The progression path is fast and wide open, and there are no boundaries when it comes to innovation and growth of new regions. HubSpot has an amazing culture and the best people. I constantly feel challenge and learn something new everyday.

Cons

It is not so much a con, but there is so much opportunity, you can tend to take on too much.

Agree that we can continue to improve global communication--if you have specific ideas that can help, I'm all ears. Most importantly, I like that you said there are no boundaries and that you feel challenged every day--that's our goal, so I hope that sentiment continues--thanks for all that you do for HubSpot and for writing such a thoughtful review! -Katie
