Pros

My coworkers are fantastic. Everyone from direct people managers on down are truly fantastic people and I've built many friendships with amazing people in my time here. Remote work is always great!

Cons

HubSpot used to brag that they were the Best Place to Work in America. They don’t seem to be even trying for that anymore. Our eNPS score was the lowest it's ever been, and the entire Support department regularly gets told that we're the backbone of the company, but we get treated so poorly that everybody seems to be packing up and leaving. If you're a minority, they aren't interested in paying more than lip service to diversity. If you're experiencing discrimination, they don’t seem interested in doing anything about it, because there's no business need to do so. AI has taken over large percentages of Support tickets, leaving the difficult work to humans. We're burned out, and the company's response to that burnout is a new pilot program where we're told to work harder, while they try to sugarcoat it as being easier. We are underpaid for our work, and they keep telling us that we're paid average for our role. Support members have very little chance of moving into positions in other departments, and the seeming hard focus on hiring in countries outside the US in order to pay them less for the same work, means there's no chance of advancement.

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.
