Pros

I've been working at HubSpot full time for several years now -- and never before have I been as excited about the future. The company is in the midst of transitioning from a single (marketing) product company to having multiple products and -- most importantly -- a free CRM that we expect to be widely adopted. The product is great and fun to image where we can take it. The energy and excitement around the office is remarkable and hasn't changed from my starting days pre-IPO.

Cons

As with any company that's growing rapidly -- with multiple offices around the world, new products and new go-to-market models -- there is some growing pains. For many 'managers' this is their first time managing someone, and sometimes they're not great at it. Additionally always staying on the same page about everything that is going on can be tough and while people try to always post to the wiki, that's hard to keep up with.

HubSpot Response

Thanks for the thoughtful review! I love that you're excited about the future (I happen to share your enthusiasm), and that you referenced specifically the opportunity ahead of us with the CRM to help companies globally grow. I think your advice to us is spot on, frankly--as you may have seen, I'm currently working on some changes to our internal communications that I hope will help keep all of us strongly rooted in our vision for transparency and autonomy-the vector alignment Dharmesh referenced at our most recent company meeting. I hope you feel the impact of that willingness to adjust, but please keep me honest on it--happy to iterate as we grow. Most importantly, thanks for your hard work at HubSpot and for helping us get better with your input--growth is incredibly hard, but I'm proud of how we've handled it to date thanks to employees like you. We are certainly not perfect, but pushes like this help us to keep improving--thank you again and please do ping me on the internal communications stuff if you have additional input or ideas, would love to hear them! -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.
