      Pros

      It's still an ok place, there are many others much worse. They try to look like they care about our wellbeing. That's still a pro considering many companies have given up even on that. - Remote work - Good tech stack and internal tools - AI tools - Free good food in Dublin office

      Cons

      We're losing perks every year. They posted on LinkedIn that it was time for our favourite perk again, the week of rest for everyone, but that was cancelled this year! They started a "performance culture" which leads to unknowing Product Managers creating more useless spreadsheets for tracking progress, and asking more questions in every meeting just to seem like they're doing something productive instead of waisting everyone's time. - Poor planning across the board - Complex business logic that is not conveyed well and not at all documented - Poor software architecture prone to breaking other teams every week.

      We’ve seen the feedback on our recent post about Week of Rest and appreciate the chance to clarify. This year, we made a shift — instead of a shared, company-wide break, we offered employees more flexibility to take time off when it made the most sense for them and their teams. Many still chose to take that same week to recharge, but our post didn’t reflect that change as clearly as it could have. We know how important time off is — for rest, mental health, and showing up as our best selves. We’re glad so many HubSpotters were able to unplug, and we’re deeply appreciative of those who continued supporting our customers and colleagues during that time. We’ll be more mindful moving forward to make sure what we share publicly reflects the full picture. You can always learn more about our benefits, including Flexible Time Off on our Careers Site: https://www.hubspot.com/careers/benefits Thanks for sharing your feedback and all that you do.

      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.
