Pros

Action-Oriented: When something needs to get done, we get stuff done People Matter: You are valued as a human before an employee. The benefits are good, and they are becoming great. Availability: Leadership and management is both transparent and available. The best ability is availability.

Cons

Quickly Changing: In a start-up to scale-up, changes are inevitable and often. You have to be able to adapt - I like it, some won't. Work-life balance: Especially getting started, it's pretty difficult to manage your time, feel prepared and also enjoy life outside of work. You'll put in the time early.

Thanks for calling out our benefits and for the human-centric approach we take to helping people grow, this warmed my heart. I also like the callout for action orientation, and agree with your caution around constant change--HubSpot isn't for everyone, and it's good to note going out that we really do put the "A" in adaptable. I think your callout on the number or new folks is spot on--we try to do a lot of employee recognition through our peer bonus program, our champagner, and our champions programming, but will think about whether or not we should consider doing more. Either way, you're right to note that we should be thoughtful about how we engage and empower new folks and to default to overcommmunicating on all of that stuff. Thanks for all you do to help HubSpot grow and for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. Sincerely, Katie

Pros

Great people, everyone is so understanding and supportive. Culture is fun and energizing, people seem happy to be here. There's lots of ways to get involved outside of your day job. Awesome benefits and flexibility - love the remote first work environment, week of rest, open PTO, etc. Robust tech stack - lots of tools available for me to do my job.

Cons

Experiencing some growing pains but leadership seems receptive to feedback on it.

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.
