Pros

The people you get to work with are top-notch, recruiters are amazingly talented at finding the right fit. Sometimes there is a bit too much of a "cult-like" feeling with HubSpot, but for the most part, everyone I met was amazingly kind, professional, and insightful. The office is a good place to work, and the limitless holidays are good.

Cons

I started as a big HubSpot fan when I was first hired. HR, migration, & payroll teams have made sure that I turn these views 180. The team was highly inefficient, rude, and uncaring, and would often make mistakes that impacted me financially and then brush it off with no restitution or consolidation. Honestly, startups do a better job at accommodating expats than this company. So if you're an expat or looking for immigration support, do not count on this company as they will constantly remind you you do not matter. This happened to many of my colleagues as well. The company also feels like it's in a make-or-break stage, where growth stagnates, costs and benefits are being cut, the team getting laid off, and the macro strategy is a mess. I wouldn't be surprised if the company started stagnating.

As an FYI I've flagged this to our core HR and our mobility teams for visibility as clearly something went really wrong here, so I want to ensure we understand it and follow up on our end. -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.
