Pros

I have worked in the software industry for a lot of years, in both startups and corporate. I joined HubSpot less than a year ago in Dublin and I literally pinch myself every day, as to how I got so lucky to join such an amazing company. I know it sounds a little unbelievable but there is no politics and everyone is hugely talented and interested in just doing a good job. In my experience of other corporates - that is not always the case. People are so friendly, supportive and generally fabulous (and fun) to work with. I don't think some of the younger employees, who haven't worked in other companies, realize how good they have it!

Cons

The company is focusing on diversity and this needs to continue - we need more grey hairs!

This was so beautifully articulated, thank you for taking the time to share it. I agree that there are a lot of folks at HubSpot who haven't worked elsewhere and thus don't appreciate the caliber of people we get to work with every day and the problems we get to tackle--that's a tough one to crack, but I agree with your push that attracting more candidates with experience will help that a lot. If you have specific ideas on age and experience diversity, I'd love to hear them if you're open to sharing them. In the meantime, thank you so much for your kind review and for all you do to help DubSpot thrive. I am deeply grateful. -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.
