Pros

I've been working at HubSpot since I graduated college a few years ago and can't really imagine being anywhere else. Since day 1, I've been given complete trust in my work and projects. I started on the marketing team doing everything from writing email copy to creating offers and ebooks, to publishing blog posts, to coming up with social campaigns to promote HubSpot's global presence. There's always something to work on and anyone can say "I think this is an important project so I'm going to lead it and see what happens". I didn't realize how rare that was for a recent grad to be able to do until I talked to friends of mine who were working on things that would never actually be customer-facing. The biggest reason though I've been able to succeed in that environment is because of the people, particularly managers. I've read a lot on Glassdoor and other platforms about HubSpot's management, and while I can only speak to my experience, I've had amazing managers my past 4 years here. They know when to be hands-on and hands-off, and they don't just manage, they're impressive individual contributors which has made me work harder. Beyond managers, the people here are great. They go above and beyond to teach (someone led intro to HTML and coding classes during lunch time for anyone who wanted to learn and it was super helpful), and I truly enjoy being around them. People I work with are wacky, quirky, and kind. I'm going on 4 years here and I'm excited for what's next!

Cons

There are some growing pains like any company and things still being figured out, but I think that's normal.

I absolutely love your description of HubSpotters as wacky, quirky, and kind--I happen to agree on all three. I love it when people decided to start their career with us and stay and grow alongside the company, we're honored you chose us and I hope the trend continues. I'm fired up to hear how much you love Brian's commitment to chatting with employees formally and informally--I know very few leaders who are as engaged personally in the business, and I think you can feel and see that as an employee and hopefully as a customer and partner as well. Thanks for both your thoughtful review and for the impact you're having on our marketing team, we are so lucky to have your talent here! -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.
