Pros

Overall, I think the technical challenges are interesting. Compensation and promotion opportunities are excellent. WLB overall is mostly solid, and it is what you decide to make of it.

Cons

The company certainly doesn't offer the same perks/culture - we have doubled down on high performance culture. It is slightly more cutthroat now and people are more stressed/overworking themselves to go above the line. I don't necessarily think this is bad - there were people who were coasting.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear you’ve enjoyed the technical challenges, career growth opportunities, and flexibility that come with your role at HubSpot. You’re right that as we’ve grown, we’ve leaned further into a high-performance culture — with clear expectations and rewards to match. That said, we also want to ensure that drive doesn’t come at the expense of balance or well-being, and it’s something our engineering leaders continue to focus on. Thanks again for your thoughtful feedback and for everything you do to help our teams and customers succeed.

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.
