Pros

really great coworkers and some of the smartest people around.

Cons

you keep swapping out C-Suites and executives every 6 months who then change up the goals, visions, and cultures of the company. You take away benefits with a smile on your faces. You gaslight us. You say we don't deserve more pay. I've gotten global top performer awards YoY, but struggle to get past a recruiter screenings for internal interview opps. You sacrifice the satisfaction of your employees for AI and clout. This company is completely foreign to me from when I started 6 years ago.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback, though it’s tough to read. We truly appreciate the contributions you’ve made over your six years here. We’re in the midst of an intentional culture evolution designed to bring more clarity, consistency, and alignment as we grow. That means some changes in leadership and priorities, which we know can be challenging—especially for those who’ve experienced different chapters of HubSpot. Feedback like yours is important in helping us stay grounded in our mission while continuing to evolve. Regarding internal mobility, our goal is to ensure equitable processes and growth opportunities for all employees. If you’re open to it, we’d encourage you to connect with your manager or HRBP to discuss your career aspirations and any blockers you’ve encountered, or visit the internal mobility Wiki. We would push back on your comment that we’ve taken away benefits - earlier this year, we added guardrails to Unlimited Vacation, reframing it as Flexible Time Off in an effort to be more equitable across all teams. For more, see hubspot.com/careers/benefits Thank you again for sharing your perspective and for all you’ve done for HubSpot and our customers. – The People Team

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.
