Pros

My HubSpot experience was an exceptional one; tons of people to learn from, at all levels of the company, and my career is the better for it. The company has a can-do, GSD culture that will set you up for success in the future.

Cons

Especially on the sales side, things do get a little bit bro-y. It's an odd feeling seeing a 22 year old grabbing a beer from the taps in the kitchen -- at lunch -- and I think that there could be more proactive steps taken to address that type of thing.

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for your hard work every day. I'm glad to hear you have had an exceptional experience, and that you believe we've scaled the company and our culture with some success--I certainly don't have all the answers, and rely upon smart people like you for help. With regard to your sentiment that the sales team has a notably bro-ish tone, that really saddens me--happy to chat with you on ideas beyond our current programming to have an impact there, so let me know if you want to connect to talk more, it's a topic near and dear to my heart. Thank you for speaking up and for helping us get better, I deeply appreciate it. -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.
