Pros

Amazing people who are willing to help you every step of the way. People are just simply genuine, and you get a real feeling that they truly enjoy what they do. Transparency in company communication from top to bottom. I’ve honestly never worked for a company that is so open and honest in what they’re doing and where they’re headed. A company culture that values the customer AND the employee very highly. They are the shining example that showed when you value the employee, you’re also valuing the customer. Both drive each other. Great benefits and true opportunities for growth. But keep in mind, your growth is the result of what you put in. All the tools and avenues are available at HubSpot, but you can’t expect to just sit and wait for it to be given to you. You have to take the initiative set your goals and utilize what HubSpot provides to help achieve them. I really could go on and on, but there are so many reviews out there that do such a better job at articulating the pros of working here!

Cons

The only con at the moment is having to see bad reviews of HubSpot that were clearly written by the same person. (See recent 1 star reviews by a supposed current/former SWE.) I can understand leaving a poor review that provides honest feedback on one’s experience at a company, but submitting multiple poor reviews out of bitterness to artificially downgrade HubSpot’s score is a bit childish and extremely unprofessional. If you have valid gripes about your experience and how you were treated, I’m 100% positive Katie Burke would set aside time to personally listen to them and work to make any necessary changes. That, at least, would be more productive than the method this person has currently chosen to use.

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.
