      It’s not what it seems; culture code is smoke and mirrors - Senior UX Designer HubSpot Employee Review

      Pros

      Great pay & benefits , interesting projects and great coworkers.

      Cons

      High pressure, working in American high performance culture and really really bad American managers & directors throughout UX. Managers aren’t trained to work with different cultures, working standards or even work with people with disabilities. US office treats Dublin office like it’s disposable and a novelty rather than it being a partnership and an equal. Culture code is all smoke and mirrors. They don’t really practice it, it’s just a marketing project they use to sell to get customers to trust their business model. HubSpot is really good at selling a warm and empathetic company that cares but the internal reality is actually more ruthless.

      Lots to take in here and sorry to read your frustration. I would strongly push back on us treating Dublin like it's disposable. We took employee rep feedback incredibly seriously as part of our consultation process and have delayed a significant amount of messaging internally out of respect for our colleagues outside the US. There's certainly always more we can do to be more global first and inclusive, and I take that feedback completely on board, but I don't think it's fair to say we treat Ireland as disposable by any stretch. We'll learn from some of the feedback, thanks for sharing it and helping our team grow in the Product Pillar. -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.
