Pros

Best Benefits Around, Gym, Unlimited Vacation....?(will explain on the Cons), Free Food, overall though depends on where you actually work, but just cause you have unlimited vacation....yea you will probably work more then 40 hours a week regardless.

Cons

Depends on the department you work in, but the manager is horrible. They do not know how to actually manage, the company was built on helping the employee's out, but the manager brings in the way of managing for a old fashion company who does not have unlimited vacation, which Hubspots motto is "As Long You Get Your Job Done" they tend to make you work more then you have to so they look good, along those lines, they do not praise the employee who actually does the whole work in the department, as for me...i did all the work...while the manager got all the benefits...promotions and bonuses...it's a slap to the face to watch someone (your manager) get the rewards you work for and nothing towards you.

Thanks for the review. Sounds like your situation with your manager is at the core of the issue here, so happy to chat offline to help you sort this out--it's certainly our goal and mission to ensure that folks are able to grow here, and that includes getting employees the managers they need to succeed and grow, so please send me a note and we'll chat offline about what's happening here, happy to help. -Katie

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.
