Pros

I learned a TON at HubSpot. In fact, my time at HubSpot launched my career. The executive team is very approachable, willing to listen, and offer advice. Management in general is very transparant and willing to share the reasoning behind their strategies and solicit feedback. So just in my day-to-day activity I was learning through my interactions with management. It's kind of like an Ivy league school where you really do get out of it what you put into it. If you want to show up and do your job and that's it, that's fine and it will look good on your resume. But if you want to get involved, solve challenges, work on cross departmental projects, and really grow professionally, then your options are nearly unlimited. I know many people who joined HubSpot at an entry level position and very quickly picked up additional responsibilities and grew into a management role (which means they like to promote from within, so that's another huge plus). Aside from the above, HubSpot has a great culture, cool people to work with (in fact I'm still very good friends with numerous people at HubSpot), and every day was fun and exciting. It's one of the few jobs where I looked forward to waking up and coming into work. You may be asking why I left if it was so awesome? It was simply because another company made an offer I couldn't refuse (it was basically my dream job). I was definitely reluctant to leave HubSpot and sad when I did.

Cons

Honestly, HubSpot isn't for everyone. If you're looking for a 9-5 job just to pay the bills, you probably wont be happy at HubSpot. If instead you're looking to grow your career, learn alot, and aren't afraid to put in some real work, you wont regret your decision.

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.
