-- Amazing Culture (HEART is a real thing at HubSpot)
-- Tons of flexibility with coming to the office and working from home
-- Amazing co-workers and excellent management staff
-- Great benefits and unlimited vacation!
Cons
-- The only con that keeps me from giving this place a 5-stars, is the starting salary of $35,000 in Support. This salary is well below industry standards, especially in a place with a high-cost of living like Boston.

Thanks for your review and hopefully you saw JD's note today on the thought we are putting into helping Support. Long-term, we have more work to do to think through the model that will work for the next decade for the business and for our employees, and that will likely require some thoughtful considerations on talent pool, cost, and expectations, but we are doing some hard work with support leadership to ensure that we remain committed to helping support grow and our customers delighted, but also set our success team up for succeed--thanks for the candid feedback, it's top of mind for us at the moment. -Katie
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.
