HubSpot reviews

The best trait of HubSpot is by far the people - my co-workers make my days not just tolerable, but enjoyable. I think that I can safely say that everyone at HubSpot works hard, but not so hard that you lose the ability to have a life or friends outside of the office. If I've needed days or half-days off, I've never been given angry eyes or felt like I was being judged for it. On that note, the vacation policy is hard to beat. It was recently amended that you must take two weeks minimum (to cover for the dark side of "no vacation policy"), but can take infinity otherwise (the company meeting actually used the infinity symbol). I feel challenged at my job - not in a way where I feel I cannot succeed or am fighting an uphill battle, but in the way where each day has some new challenges and isn't the day that it was before. I work an eight hour day regularly and do not feel pressured to work more, nor is my workload one that requires more. I think one of the biggest pros though is that I can tell that the management actually actually cares about the employees - and not in some superficial "You matter to us" way, but in a real, "We invest in you and do things to show that how you feel is actually important." It's little things, but when there was a city-wide emergency, they made sure that everyone was safe, accounted for and had a way home; they survey us and list our grievances publicly, giving a plan of action for how to deal with them; the founders and executive team sit at open desks and encourage anyone to stop by. It's in the things that no one expects or requires that show a real investment in the employees.

- If you kill your numbers, you can switch departments and work on pretty much whatever you'd like. It used to be encouraged even more, but you can start a project on the side that you believe in, and if you prove its worth, you can turn it into your full-time job. - Lots of flexibility. Unlimited vacation policy is what you make of it -- too many people guilt trip themselves out of going on vacation. You can also work remotely whenever you need to, no questions asked. - Extreme transparency, even as the company is growing. If anyone complains about transparency going away, it's their own fault for not keeping up with the internal wiki. - Opportunities are not based on age, but on talent and results. So if you're a rockstar, you can progress in your career relatively quickly. - A ton of smart people to learn from. - Nice benefits. - Great location near a T (green line, but it's better than driving!)
