Pros

HubSpot remains committed to remote work (for now)

Cons

In my time there, I witnessed HubSpotter become incredibly disillusioned with the company and its leadership. The downfall started when they chose to do layoffs and then immediately hire back a lot of those roles. They use sneaky tactics like reorgs to do further scaling back on their headcount without having to call it a lay off, and many many orgs and teams are already understaffed when they do it. Leadership is not listening to individual contributor concerns about staffing and work load, the messaging about "use AI tools to get faster or else" is highly concerning and awful for morale, and they are consistently rolling back more and more benefits and perks.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We’re sorry to see you move on from HubSpot. A few things we’d like to note: - HubSpot remains committed to remote work for the long term, not just right now! Visit our new hybrid work page to learn more hubspot.com/careers/hybrid-work - The world we live in today moves fast, and we need to move quickly to best serve our customers, and that means making sure we’re using AI in the right use cases, and making every HubSpotter AI-fluent. We’re seeing a lot of energy around AI usage internally, and we truly believe that becoming AI fluent is the best way to level up our careers. - While we added guardrails to unlimited PTO to make it more equitable, we have not rolled back on any benefits or perks. Visit hubspot.com/careers/benefits for more. The best of luck in your next chapter. - The People Team

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.
