Pros

- The people are some of the brightest I've ever met - The transparency from top-down is shocking and awesome - I have never been more excited (or less sad) to wake up on a Monday - HubSpot is actively working on their culture and their employees - Free books program is remarkable - Tuition reimbursement proves that HubSpot really does want the best for employees

Cons

It seems like the employees over-emphasizes tenure. "How long have you been at HubSpot" is a common ice-breaker and those who state the longest have an odd sense of bravado. It's even plastered on several display screens around the office. "The pre-IPO days" are reminisced upon as if they were ages ago and those who came afterwards missed out on the good-ol-days.

Thank you for your thoughtful review--hearing that you look forward to Mondays makes me happier than you can even imagine. I would agree that we can do a better job making it clear that "these are the good old days" at HubSpot--if you have specific ideas on how to make that happen I'm all ears. Thank you for your hard work and for all that you do to make HubSpot remarkable. Sincerely, 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.
