Pros

Employee Benefits, comp is ok if over delivering (which is rare).

Cons

Horrendous culture of micro management unlike any company I've ever experienced before. Spend millions recruiting experienced sales people to have them operate as BDR's as there is ZERO yes ZERO inbound engine in HubSpot. The only way to actually have good accounts is to have started 8 years ago and sat on them for years. Do not join this company, you are not set up to succeed and even if you get through your probation (WHICH IS RARE) you'll be on a PIP within the year as it is impossible to 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.
