Pros
HubSpot is an amazing place to grow and learn. I've been at HubSpot for over 7 years now and there hasn't been a day in my time here where I didn't have the opportunity to learn something new. The evolution of the company over the years has been truly remarkable and it is something I'm very proud to be a part of. I look forward to coming to work every day to be a part of something big and interesting. The coworkers I have are brilliant and fun to be around, the work is challenging and fulfilling and the flexibility I have to accomodate my growing family means the world to me.
Cons
Opportunities to grow and learn are everywhere, but you have to be adamant about seeking them out. As soon as you start looking you are bound to find them, but you have to take the initiative to look.

Love that you're growing your family alongside helping our customers, partners, and employees grow--thank you so much for the review and for helping our company scale, I appreciate it so much. One of my favorite parts of your review is the pride in the evolution of the company--I feel similarly, and like how you articulated it. Thanks again for sharing and for all your hard work to help HubSpot and our customers grow! -Katie
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.
