Pros

-Best of class leadership team, their clarity of vision is a daily inspiration. -Hyper growth mode, there's always something new to learn or a problem to solve. -Supportive environment for autonomous and flexible work. -Perks are great (unlimited vacation, stock options, FREE books) but it's really working with some of the smartest and inclusive colleagues that's the greatest perk of being at HubSpot.

Cons

You'll have to keep explaining to the uninitiated what HubSpot is, it's not as easy as "Oh I work at Google or Facebook".

I love that you call out your colleagues not just for being smart but also very inclusive, that's the ultimate compliment. And I think you're spot on--HubSpot isn't quite as big (yet) as some of our peers in tech, so we all have to explain what HubSpot does at family parties-thanks for noting that, and for calling out the opportunities that come with our current size. Sincerely, 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.
