Pros

Remote. Friday focus day. Thats pretty much it.

Cons

Micromanaging toxic paper pushing place. In the effort to get bought by Google, they completely killed their workplace culture. C-suite turn over is for good reason, not to mention that most OG Hubspotters left because of the toxic company culture. Slack during AllHands is just sucking up to execs, while even the least bit of constructive concerned chatter gets comments immediately switched off, equivalent of a media blackout. Leadership knows exactly what they are doing, and they don't care. Even founders are here to just cash out at this point and fully onboard with these actions. Middle managers just want yes men who suck up, and even the slightest critical thinking will put you in the dog house. This is by far the most toxic place I've ever worked and that's coming from someone who is ex-consulting. Salaries are low as hell too. Catty high school cliches with a woke culture twist.

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.
