      I have been working at HubSpot full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      I've been at HubSpot now for almost 4 years and there's nowhere else I've even thought about working in that time. Why? HubSpot is a great place to work. I feel like I'm valued. I have a lot of autonomy in how and when and where I work. I feel strongly about the mission of the company. All in all, I'm extremely happy here.

      Cons

      As the company grows, scaling communication and decision making becomes more difficult. Luckily, it's something that's top of mind for many people who are working to make communication easier and better.

      I have been working at HubSpot full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      - Unlimited vacation policy (if you're hitting your metrics)
       -Flexible work from home policy
      - Employee Stock Purchase Program
      - Restricted Stock Units granted at various levels (usually in association with promotions)
      - Coffee and beer gardens
      - Healthy snacks for free, including cereal, bagels, fruit, veggies, string cheese, etc.
      - Challenging but rewarding work environment - you'll never be bored
      - Great support from colleagues - everyone is working to get better

      Cons

      - Process + system changes can be rolled up a bit clumsily, negatively impacting the day-to-day operations of individual contributors.
      - Benefits are fantastic. Pay has not kept up with the increasing cost of living in the Cambridge/Boston area.

      I have been working at HubSpot full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Working on the Support team is the best way to learn the product. Period. You get a great perspective into how customers use the platform in their daily operations, as well as the tru inner-workings of the tool itself.

      Cons

      Often not taken seriously be customers nor higher-tenured colleagues. We're usually the safety net for Salespeople who over-promise illusions of grandeur, or Success Managers who truly don't understand how most of the product works.

      Advice to Management

      The Support team management often feels that it needs to "rally the troops." While some of the team is on the younger side and relatively inexperienced in corporate America, many of us are well out of college and joined this team as a way to learn (not as a post-grad fallback plan).

      We're consistently being asked to push harder and give more, and more, and more. We don't need hand-holding, nor do we need rallying. We need real empathy and understanding that we are often over-worked (As we are all scheduled or 9-hour days and many of us don't take lunch in order to meet our goals). Consider ways to make this team feel valued other than throwing a pizza party at us.
