Pros

People. I know it might sound cliché, but people is HubSpot's secret. It's not only that. Culture, Opportunities, Transparency, Flexibility. The list goes on and on and on and on. At HubSpot I learned that you can have life/work balance. I learned that life happens people will stop, listen and help. The environment is perfect for you to grow as a person and professional. Bottom line, for anyone reading this, if you have the chance to work at HubSpot, go for it and fully embrace the opportunity, it will probably be the best experience in your life, it will forever change your perception of work and people (for the best). HubSpot made me a better person and a much much much better professional. Kudos to all People Operation, you are doing a fantastic job on creating and maintaining a great work environment.

Cons

There's still small cultural subsets here and there that doesn't quite fit the company culture. Those subsets become more visible when there're parties and alcohol involved which always makes a lot of room for misunderstanding/misinterpretation.

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback, lots of good stuff in here, and thanks for calling out our People Ops team, I'm very grateful to work on such a great team, and it means the world to me that you notice their hard work. I think you have some great input for us to think about, specifically around shaping communications on controversial topics and on subcultures as it relates to events outside of work--if you want to chat more about either would love to hear the feedback, but in the meantime, thanks for your rave review--we're delighted you're here and that HubSpot has had a profound impact on your life. It has on mine too, and it's part of the reason I love working here so much each day. Thank you for all you do! -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.
