Pros

If you're looking to challenge yourself and learn new things, HubSpot is an outstanding place to do so. The company is full of smart people who CARE, and it shows. Am excellent place for those who want the chance to go "above and beyond".

Cons

There's a lot of disorganization and ambiguity - maybe even a little more than I expected coming into a fast-growing company like this. That can certainly be seen as an opportunity at times, but other times it can just be frustrating.

Thanks so much for the feedback here-I agree with how you said it's a great place for those who want to go above and beyond and care to do so, that's a really poignant way of putting it. I agree with you that sometimes our commitment to autonomy can go too far--we are trying to find a good balance there, and are iterating on feedback we get from new hires to help there. I appreciate the feedback, and promise we'll keep the bar high for new hires--appreciate your note and thanks for all you do for our company as we scale! -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.
