Pros

Autonomy, Mentorship, Small Teams, Strong leadership, engineering focus, Growing quickly

Cons

None for me. Some might that teams have too much autonomy, that the pace is a bit quick, or that the team is a bit young (average age is 28), but I like it. Also, a small percentage of people have been here for more than 5 years, though those people tend to have a lot of influence.

Thanks for the review and taking the time to share it, I really appreciate it. I like that you callout the autonomy and small teams as a pro for core engineering, and I appreciate that you note a few things that could be drawbacks for folks evaluating HubSpot as candidates. Thanks for writing this up, particularly given that it's such a busy time for the engineering team pre-INBOUND! 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.
