Pros

HubSpot is an incredibly fun place to work. You're a part of some of the most interesting conversations around marketing in the 21st century, and you're having them with incredibly smart and driven people. Culture amazing, pay is decent, workplace is energetic and coworkers are great. Really enjoy working here.

Cons

Certain teams (especially within Sales) tend to be somewhat culturally exclusive, though that might be expected. The work/life balance can seem a bit tough, as everybody is expected to work long hours.

I'm so glad you enjoy working here, and that you called it "incredibly fun"--I'm horribly biased, but happen to agree. I also like that you pointed out that we get a front row seat (driver's seat in fact) to conversations around marketing and sales in the 21st century--I love that we (you included) are helping redefine what it means to do business in 2016 and beyond. Thank you for the review and for all that you do to help HubSpot grow! -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.
