Pros

Everyone is smart. People don't micromanage you. You work on your own, but you also work in a team.

Cons

Everyone is very smart, so you have to work harder to stand out her than you would otherwise.

Thanks so much for the feedback, and the advice--I think in our attempt to reflect how hard it is to get into HubSpot, we've flipped the rhetoric a bit too far so it can feel exclusive or judgmental of schools, which is never the intention--I have a few plays in the works to help mitigate this, and welcome any suggestions you have on how we can further improve on this if you want to chat in person. -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.
