Pros

- People are generally great, especially those who are "lifers" that believe in the old HubSpot culture of kindness, helping others; being that person also means you are sacrificing in another way - Product and Engineering roles/teams are stronger in terms of salary/total comp/perks - Decent benefits

Cons

- Work Life Balance is a thing of the past - Constant restructures, re-orgs, and fear of being laid off because leadership decides your role/department/team is not needed "for the business" - Updates of practices and policies before you can even get used to the previous one (EX, I've been here 4 years and never had the same Performance Review model) - No clear growth path or advancement for Individual Contributors - Toxic work environment for BIPOC, especially Black Women

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.
