Pros

The CEO is conscious of the company’s current challenges and is actively working to improve things and rebuild what made HubSpot special. Individual contributors are outstanding, talented, collaborative, and truly committed to their work. You get to work with smart, passionate people every day.

Cons

Several former LinkedIn employees have joined with very limited processes in place, and they’ve displaced many others who helped build the company’s foundation. The North America Sales Leader seems focused mainly on her own interests, and attrition has increased significantly as a result. Major issues remain unresolved, and there’s visible misalignment between Sales and Customer Success. Decisions are often made and then reversed months later, with little to no accountability. Instead of addressing root causes, the leadership announces contests that impact less than 3% of the sales organization. Good intentions are not enough — what’s missing is consistency, accountability, and real listening to the teams on the ground.

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.
