Pros

The company focus on helping SMBs grow is motivating. The executive team is inspiring, coworkers are fantastic and the work is challenging. Many organizations have mission statements or sets of company values. HubSpot lives the company values from the bottom up and the top down. The management team believes in hiring people with HEART (Humble, Empathetic, Adaptable, Remarkable, Transparent). When you trust the people around you, you let the politics of a typical workplace slide away, and focus on delivering a fantastic customer experience and product.

Cons

The majority of employees are young professionals (which is dynamic and fun), but sometimes lacks years of real-world experience. The executive team has made up for this over time by hiring more experienced managers/directors/VPs. Sometimes the focus on 'career growth' seems like if you're not getting your next promotion, you're not growing. This mentality is starting to shift though.

Thanks for your feedback, and your overall super thoughtful review. I agree with your push on career growth, and with the fact that long-term we need to change the vernacular so that growth isn't just promotions, it's a much broader commitment to expanding your horizons and skills. We are going to continue to invest in the trust and transparency you love about working here, I hope we make you proud in doing so. Thanks for all you do and for leading with HEART to help HubSpot grow. 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.
