      Pros

      In my 6 years at HubSpot there's been an incredible evolution from 170 to well over a thousand employees. We've gone from a scrappy startup to a legit business. While quite a lot has changed, the reason I joined is the reason I stay - I'm constantly surrounded by bright, engaged, dedicated colleagues. People who work at HubSpot really care about the company and we've continued to attract exceptional talent. What this means for me is that, while the business has evolved, I've never had to have a meeting with a manager who's too busy to help or a colleague who's disengaged. This is a drama-free environment because the people who work at HubSpot are here quite voluntarily. HubSpot is generous with employees - but it's not over the top. Motivation to be work here is largely *intrinsic.* We're not here for a free breakfast, lunch and dinner, free dry cleaning, or whatever nonsense other tech companies divert into retaining employees. I find my managers, my colleagues and my team are here because they love the work. And when you enjoy your work and the people you work with, it's an awesome place to forge a career.

      Cons

      As we grow, it's been difficult to keep track of what's going on across the business. This is a little disorienting because I had been used to better understanding all of the moving parts.

      I really loved what you said about intrinsic motivation--you captured eloquently what I think a lot of us feel around here, so thank you for that, a very thoughtful review, and six years of service--I hope you went somewhere fun on your sabbatical! I agree with your push on keeping track of everything--hopefully some of the new communications initiatives will help there, but keep us honestly on that. Regarding unlimited vacation, two years ago we did the reset on vacation so folks knew a) they can and should take vacation and b) that it's welcome and encouraged and part of the priorities for everyone, including management--perhaps we should revisit that conversation again. Either way, thank you for sharing your feedback and all your hard work over six years, we are deeply appreciative of all your contributions. Sincerely, Katie

      Pros

      Great people, everyone is so understanding and supportive. Culture is fun and energizing, people seem happy to be here. There's lots of ways to get involved outside of your day job. Awesome benefits and flexibility - love the remote first work environment, week of rest, open PTO, etc. Robust tech stack - lots of tools available for me to do my job.

      Cons

      Experiencing some growing pains but leadership seems receptive to feedback on it.

      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.
