HubSpot reviews

We work a lot of hours, it's no joke. It's also no joke to become the 2nd fastest growing software company in the country and we are all proud of it. You don't get there by laying back. If anything, the intensity can get tiring, but.. when you get too tired because you work like mad guess what happens.... YOU GET TO TAKE A VACATION. When I see negative reviews on here about HubSpot, I kind of just want to shake the people that wrote them. Maybe I have had bad luck prior to HubSpot with difficult/unhappy jobs... but I don't think that's the case. I am a very grateful person. HubSpot isn't perfect, no job is. But, I always have the option of fixing anything that isn't perfect and am prided for doing so and in fact encouraged.

The last several months I worked at HubSpot could be gently called a witch hunt, as leadership decided they wanted a disruption in the company to reshape the development team into a specific mold - that mold being one of decisions driven more by impulse and the mantra of "just do it" rather than "just do it (conscientiously)." People who didn't buy into the new world order left, and others were unceremoniously terminated. Team cohesion became very disjointed, it was very much like seeing two separate teams - those that wanted more conscientious change, and those that told the other side to shut up and do as they say. I'd say if you're a certain type of developer - one who claims to abhor process and wants to produce prolific amounts of code which will then probably be rewritten multiple times in short order, and want your developer philosophies heavily mixed with a heavy side of uncertainty and frenetic chaos, you will fit well into the new world. The benefits, for those that care, are very much what you'd expect from a start up. The vacation policy is the selling point, and you certainly won't starve on your pay, but the promise of IPO dollars is part of the package. There is no 401k match.
